Globe Clothing operated at this location from 1909 to 1987. The building was enlarged and remodeled several times, most notably in 1940 and again 1960, when the adjacent vacant Ideal Bakery space at 363 N. Main was incorporated. From 1990 to 2022, the space was home to Bert & Ernie's restaurant and bar. It is currently home to The Union/Old Salt Co-op.
