Designed by noted Lancaster architect C. Emlen Urban and erected between 1911 and 1912 to house the Kirk Johnson music store, this historic building is a four-story, narrow, steel-frame structure that is clad in white tile and cut stone, and was created in the Beaux-Arts style. This section of the Kirk Johnson Building measures sixteen feet wide and features a copper-clad mansard roof. The original French-style display windows were restored between 1979 and 1980.[2]
