Located on the west side of Pearl between Fourth and Fifth Streets, the building became known as the Olympia Block. It was another example of late Victorianesque architecture. The windows were arched and arranged in patterns of threes, all elaborately decorated with arches and friezes. During the 1890s the large corner building housed many businesses.
