Architectural History: 

It is a one-storey wood frame building with a false façade and gable roof covered with cedar shingles and metal sheathing. The exterior is covered by a bevelled tongue and groove wood siding.

Cultural History: 

This building was first located on Second Avenue and Main Street, where the Bank of Montreal presently sits. It was moved to 2116 Second Avenue ca. 1944, presumably replacing the house which had sat on that site since 1929. The building consisted of a front and a rear section, although only the front portion made the move to its present location. The roof, now covered with metal, was originally cedar shingles. 

In its original location, the building had been occupied by the Hubbard and Elliott General Store from as early as 1900. Hubbard and Elliott were responsible for a good deal of the copper mining in the Kenai Peninsula. 

It is unknown how long the Hubbard and Elliott General store was in operation. After the move to 2116 Second Avenue, the building housed a variety of business; among them were a wicker store, a second hand store, and most recently, the Klondike Rib Restaurant.
