This property was originally the site of two smaller buildings: a two-story building to the west and an adjoining one-story building to the east along the alley. This two-story Commercial style building was designed by William Christmas Knighton, who became Oregon's first state architect in 1913, for John Bayne, a lawyer, and George Bayne, a hop grower active in local politics, serving on the Salem City Council during 1903-1907. It was built in 1902. The OK Barber Shop has been located here since at least 1907, and was remodeled in 1961. Other occupants have included a bakery, a Western Union office, the Little King Restaurant, the Brownell Electric Company and the Burroughs Electric Company. Offices occupied the second floor. More recent occupants include the Mary Lou Zeek Gallery and Guitar Castle.
