Eliza Johnson had this building constructed in 1874 after a fire destroyed several structures on the block. It was built of limestone rubble to comply with a city ordinance requiring all new construction to include fireproof materials. Local investor August Horst bought the property in 1877 and sold it two years later to his wife's brothers, E.P. and J.H. Mickelborough. Members of their families owned it until 1929. The building has housed a saloon, grocery, confectionery, ice cream parlor, and offices for attorneys and dentists.
