This is one of the few early brick rural stores in Southside. Set on rubble foundations, the three-bay structure has batten shutters. In the early twentieth century the gable ends were pedimented and given lunettes, the openings and the interior modified, and a four-columned porch with a small pediment was added. Behind the store is the miller's four-bay frame house. It began in the early nineteenth century as a one-story-with-loft building and had a front door opening into each of its two first-floor rooms. According to local thought, this makes it a traditional Huguenot cottage. It may be that the cottage is contained within the three-bay two-story frame house that now stands on the site. If so, it had major enlargements and alterations in the twentieth century, including the shed-roofed porch spanning the facade.
