    Built as a large Italianate commercial block on Railroad Avenue, as Third Street was then named — a store, restaurant or saloon at street level with flats above, chamfered bay windows and a bracketed cornice. It is among the better-preserved Victorian-era commercial buildings in the Town Center, and among the mixed-use buildings on Third Street that survive from the 1899–1900 Sanborn era.

The 2010 survey and EAS both give this property as 4702–04 Third Street on parcel 5311026. That parcel has been retired; the assessor now carries the site as 5311039, addressed 4700–4706 Third Street. The assessor dates the building 1900; the 2010 survey dates it about 1885. Most pre-1906 buildings in the district carry a default assessor date of 1900, because the city's building records were destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and fire.
