This small commercial building was built in 1940 as Anderson's Sports. Most recently it was the home of Les Newman's Footwear & Clothing. For many years, the front of the building was covered with diagonal wood siding, but this was eventually removed, revealing the original facade. This building was damaged by the fire in the McMahan's Building next door on August 10, 2006 and was subsequently demolished.
