History edit
The building was constructed at some point between 1912 and 1920. As the Baldwin Market, it became the principal market - and therefore a community hub - in its neighbourhood between 1920, when it was renovated and established as a shop by Earl and Eva Baldwin, and 1946, when Jesse Ash and his family, who had acquired the building in 1941, sold it and moved their business to a nearby location to the south. It is now the only two-story false-fronted commercial building in Eugene, and therefore the only representative of the style which dominated Oregon's commercial wooden architecture during the 19th century.[1]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[2] As of 2021, it houses a massage center and a cafe.[3]
