The New Carter House was built in 1897 by Thomas Carter and was originally three stories high with a wrought-iron gallery on the two street sides. It caught fire in the 1920s but was not completely destroyed. Max Block purchased the building, removed the top story, and developed it into a department store with a penthouse on the top level. It was preceded by the Old Carter House on Front Street, which burned in 1894.
