Constructed in 1902, this stone commercial building occupies a prominent corner in the town center. It helps define a picturesque intersection. It combines elements of two popular Victorian era styles, Romanesque and Queen Anne. The heavy, quarry faced stone walls are pierced with round arch fenestration and a typical canted entry. Above the entry is the corner turret, sheathed in pressed tin and capped with a conical roof. It currently is the home of the Apache Historical Society Museum. The north wall and area around the entry have both failed, and repairs have begun, but there is currently not enough funding to complete the project. The historical society has reached around 60% of their fundraising goal. The building was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
