Built in 1874 on the site of previous general store operations, the Fisher Brothers General Merchandise building is a one-story, brick, commercial Italianate style structure. An unpainted wooden addition extends from the north side of the building along Oregon Street. The property was deeded to the Fisher Brothers in 1862 when the previous owner was unable to pay his debts. The existing structure was rebuilt by the Fisher Brothers in 1874 and survived a pair of fires as it continued to be used as a general store unto the 1890s. Around 1900 the building became the Marble Arch Saloon. For the last several decades, it has housed Scheffel's Toy Store.

Additional information about this structure can be found on the State of Oregon Inventory of Historic Properties form.
