The two-story masonry commercial building was built in 1906 for the Covington Bank & Trust Co. The first floor and Columbia St. facade were modernized in the 1960's for use as a shoe store. Renovations in the latter part of the 20th century included a new stairway and elevator, new electrical, plumbing and heating systems as well as a new roof. The second floor was re-developed as 4500 square feet of office space. The 2nd floor was last used as office space during World War II, it was said.
