The original building at this location was constructed about 1890 and served as the residence of W.G. Clucas, Town Marshal of Cortez, from 1910 to 1920. During the 1920s, J.A. McCabe operated a store in the building and sold Raleigh products. The OK Cafe occupied the site during the 1930s. Frank Havran purchased the property in 1946 and established a dry cleaning business. Originally built as a frame structure, the building underwent several renovations, including the addition of cement block with a permastone facade during the 1940s, and in 1948 it was remodeled to its present-day appearance.
