It dates back to the mid 1880s when it was originally built to serve as a grocery store.[6] The building was built for Joseph Goodman, who was a prominent local grocer. Goodman operated his store in the said building until 1924.[7]

The building's upper floor housed Jacob Bickler's German and English Academy, which was an elite preparatory school and operated approximately from 1892-1896.[8]
