It is a two-story brick building, with brick laid in common bond, upon an irregular sandstone ashlar foundation. It is one of the most significant buildings in the town.

It was the first hotel in town, and helped in the development of the town as a center of an agricultural area. It was built for Luther S. Smith by contractors Wenzel & Marshall, of Bear Creek, Montana. A block on the building reads "19 SMITH 06".[2]
