From the National Register nomination
Now used a church, this one-story cinder-block building located with no appreciable setback from the street at the intersection of Port Republic Road and Abbey Place originally served a commercial purpose. Much of the facade is obscured by a modern vestibule entered through a single-leaf paneled metal and glass door. The front-gabled roof is covered with asphalt-shingles. Fred Daniels, formerly a chef at the Hotel General Wayne, operated the Marshall's Grill restaurant in this building from 1962 to 1972. This building replaces an earlier building on the site that housed the Jones Shoe Shop in 1935.
