Once part of a large tobacco manufacturing complex with adjacent residences, the warehouse is the only surviving company building of B. F. Gravely and Sons. The three-bay brick warehouse has windows set into segmental arches, a stepped brick cornice, and parapeted gable ends with ventilation openings in a diamond pattern. The interior was mostly gutted by fire but was refitted as a custom woodworking shop. Almost all of the many structures built by the Gravelys are gone. The most lasting mementos of a once-thriving community are the sheaves of pampas grass that have invaded the neighborhood, descendants of a plant Mrs. B. F. Gravely brought back from the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago.
