Shafer's Grocery and Residence consists of two attached structures: the store and associated residence. The store is a single-story frame commercial structure with a central entrance between large glass windows. The store has a flat roof with a simple bracketed cornice. The walls of the structure are clad with asbestos shingles. The attached residence is a two-story gabled structure with a front porch running the full width of the house.[2]

The structure was built for the grocery business of Robert Shafer, who operated here in the late 19th century. By the 1930s, a used furniture business operated by Jennie Cross was located here.[2]
