The three-story brick structure was built in 1908 and had its grand opening in 1909. It was designed by George Issenhuth with some elements of Chicago School architecture.^[3] The main part of the auditorium floor was for seating where plays and shows were held. The second story had offices.^[3][4]

It is significant architecturally with its community, whose older architecture has been diminished by fires. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.^[1]
