Architect J.W. Ross, of Grand Forks, drew the plans for the State Bank building and the John Berg store. Mr Berg moved the front section of his former store to his lot on Third Street west of Fifth Avenue and the rear section to the back of the lot. Mr. Berg operated his clothing store here until 1915 when H.M. Babcock moved in and opened his new City Drug Store. In August 1922, Carl Harrison, son of John Harrison, purchased the drug store and continued to operate it for many years. He eventually sold it to C.L. Peterson, who later sold to Ellsworth Anderson. Since Anderson left the building, it has been occupied by a children's clothing shop, a photo studio, and an optometrist. It is now a tattoo parlor and gift shop.
