It is narrow—just 23 feet (7.0 m)—and was built to serve as dentist offices for Dr. George W. Emerson, a dentist from Hew Hampshire. It has a "distinctive" facade and interior designed by master builder James B. Ayres and possibly built by artisans from Italy who had been brought to build the P.L. Hay House. The building was used for 82 years as dentist offices by Dr. Emerson and successors. The building also has residential space on the third floor.[2]
Another NRHP listed building, the Militia Headquarters Building, was immediately adjacent to this building, but has since been demolished.
