This building is a two-story brick Commercial Vernacular Style building was designed by Joseph Henry Wohleb and constructed in 1924. The building has a traditional storefront with a side entry in front to the second floor. The building was originally built for Arthur B. Govey, who began working for Sol Simpson in 1891 as a clerk for Simpson Company Logging camps. By the time of his death in 1942, Mr. Govey was Vice President of the company and also served as company treasurer.

The first floor of the building is and has been historically used for commercial/retail type uses, with offices on the second floor.

The building exterior remains mostly unchanged, retaining the brick and mortar construction and large display windows that extend along the full front and portion of the side. The slight changes that have been made over the years include covering of the transom windows above the first floor display windows and some slight changes to the transom windows on the west.

The building was placed on the Shelton Historic Register in February 2002.
