This two-story timber-frame commercial building, completed in 1906, had, from its beginning, multiple uses. Offices were located on the second floor, while two retail establishments occupied the first-floor storefronts that stood on either side of the office entryway. The Romberg and Dixon Bank occupied the building from 1906-1907; it erected a brick safe in the basement that still existed in 2006. Subsequently, the Fremont State Bank operated here in one storefront (1908-1916), while the Fremont Theatre showed silent pictures in the opposite storefront in 1912-1914. From the 1923-1933, the Fraternal Brotherhood leased space on the second floor. The Smith Grocery Store took over space in the south storefront in 1934 and existed until 1943. About 1937, the Angle Inn, a bar, pushed drinks in the north storefront. The Fremont News, a magazine store known for carrying approximately 1,750 serials of all kinds, closed in 11/18/2006. The store, along with its sister store, Broadway News was founded by Steve Dunnington, who sold them to his cousin, John Hamel in 2002. Fremont News had been at this location since at least the 1980s. Following its closure, Sonic Boom Records took over the space.

Alterations were made in 1975.
