This two story dark red Hebron brick commercial building, accented by stone, was considered one of the best examples of pre-World War I commercial architecture in Grand Forks and remained largely unchanged throughout its life. It first housed a farm implement dealership, then a wholesale grocer in 1914, later an auto dealership and a coal and wood supplier. In 1923 it also housed Grand Forks's first broadcasting station, the Valley Radio Station. Electric Construction Company acquired the building in 1940. The firm had been formed in 1919 as a partnership of several electricians and evolved into an electrical appliance business owned by the Haugen family, known for its extensive inventory of rare or hard-to-find components and its ability to repair a wide variety of electrical goods. The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, sustained main floor damage in the 1997 flood, and was demolished in 1998 to clear the site for the Grand Forks Corporate Center.
