Built by C.W. Stanton, one of the first businesses to occupy this building was the New Flour and Feed Store operated by Johnson and Lundeen. In 1913, a new front was installed and the building remodeled for the New City Meat Market owned by John Rauscher. In 1914, the Falls Press, published by George Watson, moved into the place. In 1928, C.E. Corrin purchased the building from Frank Keyes and moved his pluming shop into the east side and Morrison's Fix-It Shop into the west side, they were there until 1948. After that, other firms who were there were Max Nastansky's Auto Parts, The Melody Shop, Cal Hegstrom Office Supplies, MacKenzie Photo Studio and Vadnas Jewelry Store. In 1979, Jerome Brekke purchased the building and housed the Falls License Bureau for many years before becoming Lift Gym.
