This building housed the Jennie Bee Jones millinery factory which represented the second generation of Bee women as entrepreneurs in Provo.
About 1890 this building was built as a grocery store and harness shop.
By 1900 the building was used as factory and showroom by Mrs. Jennie Bee Jones, the daughter of Jane Bee, Jane her daughters Lillie and Jennie, carried on the millinery business which Jane Bee had begun. J. B. Jones and daughter continued in business until the second decade of the 20th Century.
Then the building was remodeled into a billiard parlor and barber shop – Hunter and Bullock (W. Edward and Kenneth E.) later Bullock and Russell (Daniel).
This two-story brick building has been cluttered with a too-large sign, a reworked lower façade which protrudes the entrance, windows and metal canopy out from the building. The transom is also covered.
However the upper façade still evidences some of the ornamentation. The windows, two sets of three which flank a door (one of the few second story doors extant in the district) and the bracketed cornice are all intact.
Located at 190 West Center Street in Provo, Utah
