At one time, farmers grew lettuce in the valley. Producers used the coop for packing and shipping using ice stored in a building lined with sawdust-filled walls. Glen Jelinick owned and operated the business as a feed store and John Deere dealership from 1952 to 1972 when Ken Hilton purchased the firm. The present owners, Litia and Lon Garrison, bought it from Hilton in July 1994. Segmental arch bays characterize both portions.
Stucco covers most of the building.
The 1914 Sanborn map identified the building as the Stivers Automatic Cover Manufacturing Company. In 1929 it served as a transfer company's warehouse. It is the current home of the Mon-Ark Shrine Club. This two story structure was one of several buildings in this area which served a similar purpose. After Laura Evans' death in 1953, her family tried to give the building away to church and civic organizations, but no one wanted it because of the structure's past reputation.
