Although the exact date of construction for this small commercial building is not known, it appears to be one of the oldest brick buildings in this section of southeast Queen Anne. This was one of the earliest areas settled, and has seen significant redevelopment in the past decade. From the 1920s into the 1970s this was the Aloha Grocery and meat market. Another early use in one section of the building was Sports Vogue Knitwear (1940-60s). In 1967 all the windows were covered with wood, and it became a labor union office, United Commercial Travelers. In 2003-04 the building was renovated to resemble its original appearance for use as a restaurant.

| Appearance |
| This simple commercial vernacular building has red brick cladding with gray accent bricks, and brick corbelling at each bay. Its most notable features are largely original: the corner entry with carved wood ornament marking the corner, with a tall twelve-light transom and the second entry at the south end with a similar transom. The six-light display windows have wood sash with transoms, but differ from the original. The north elevation, along Aloha Street, has an intact transom, but the northeast display window has been bricked in, and the entry and windows at the northwest are boarded up. |
