Significance: A house enlarged and remodeled during the final boom at St. Elmo, using materials and joinery of 1907 (e.g. tongue and groove clapboards). The commercial use of the building originally illustrates the secondary business district that developed north of Chalk Creek during the 1880s. A large livery stable stood immediately south of McKinney's building from about 1881 to after 1900, and several stores were erected to the west on Gunisson. After 1900, commerce shrank to a few stores on Main Street, and the area north of the creek became mostly residential.
