Bay window was added between 1905 and 1916. Ground floor level bump-out was constructed by the Brandners in the 1940's, who may have also put on the vinyl siding.

H.J. Mack purchased the building in 1888 to house his hardware store. He sold it to August Weil in 1905 who ran a meat market and later a general store in the building. In 1928, he sold it to the Brandner family who ran a general store until the 1990s when Chain of Lakes Cyclery took over the store.
