    Built under a contract of 4 May 1907 for $35,000 by a consortium of Swedish contractors — Andrew Olson, Carlson & Swanson, and Victor Stanquist — to a design by the Swedish immigrant architect August Nordin, and financed by a $40,000 loan from Eric O. Lindholm, a Swedish immigrant gold miner and banker, whom a contemporary Vestkusten article names as E. Lindblom. One of its two retail spaces was leased to the Swedish-American Mercantile Company, a dealer in imported wines and liquors and a delicatessen selling Scandinavian and German specialties.
