It is a 120-by-30-foot (36.6 m × 9.1 m) two-story false front building, at the eastern edge of Oatman near the locally noted "Elephant's Tooth" rock outcropping.[2]

The building is significant for association with commercial activity—including historic Route 66 business—in Oatman. It is one of few surviving buildings from Oatman's boom years, c.1913-1934, since many buildings were destroyed in a 1921 fire.[2]
