This Neoclassical-style building was constructed in 1903 by Stephen Day & Son for Bazil Doerhoeffer of Louisville. Tailor John J. Morgan and his Great One Price Clothing and Department Store were the first occupants, but occupied the building for only three years. It was subsequently home to Rhodes-Burford Furniture Store until around 1915. Jacob Sapinsky and Sons then moved their dry goods business here from State and Main streets.
The building housed the furniture department for the White House Department Store from 1926-1933, and then was home to Sears and Roebuck Company from 1934-1966.
