Built between 1909 and 1912, it was home to Marten's Motor Co, the building suffered damage in the days following the fire that destroyed the Ragsdale opera house. A wall damaged by the fire collapsed into the showroom destroying several automobiles on display, causing an estimated $8000 in damages. Marten's Motor Co remained at this address until 1921 when the relocated to 120 W Broadway.
