It is a 120-by-30-foot (36.6 m × 9.1 m) two-story false front building, at the eastern edge of Oatman near the locally noted "Elephant's Tooth" rock outcropping.[2]
The building is significant for association with commercial activity—including historic Route 66 business in Oatman. It is one of few surviving buildings from Oatman's boom years, c. 1913–1934, since many buildings were destroyed in a 1921 fire.[2]
