The building was built in 1885 of ashlar blocks from local limestone, and has a pressed metal cornice. In 2007, it served as Odell's visitors' center.

It was deemed significant "for activities important to the community's commerce and economy during Odell's earliest period of settlement, growth, and development" and "for its association with James D. Myers, who was instrumental in the founding of the village of Odell."[2]
