This 2 1/2-story drugstore and boarding house is shown on the 1887 Sanburn map. The structure was built by Joseph Staub and leased to druggist Edward H. Enners about 1892. The Enners Drugstore remained here until the 1940s, when it was replaced by another drugstore. 244 was the home of engineer Pierce L. Lohman from at least 1912 to 1924. It served as a physician's quarter for Earl H. Hare from 1928 to 1939, and Charles J. Cook from at least 1940 to 1945. The brick structure has a stone foundation, hip and gable roof, projecting cornice, polychromatic tile panels, attic windows and segmented arch openings. The shop front is framed by a cast iron pilaster, cornice and column which supports the cut-away cornershop entrance. Except for the boarded shop front, the building is intact.
