The building has been highly altered.
The first Provo telephone exchange was located in the building to the east. About 1900 a two-story building was built on this site and Provo Exchange moved into the upper floor. This building, the Provo Exchange Building, stood through the 1920s.
About 1928 the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Co. built this building to house the Provo Exchange. This renovizing and modernizing of the telephone system caused the Provo Chamber of Commerce to state, “Provo now has one of the most up-to-date exchanges in the West.”
By 1935 Safeway Stores Inc. had moved their grocery business into the building.
This one-story, flat-roofed, brick building has been slightly altered. The upper small windows have been filled in, the entrance closed off. A line of tiles have been added at the bottom.
This building was built around and attached to the building on the east. As the building to the west was built, it was built around and attached to this building. An entrance was cut between the two.
