The Old Town Historic District was the second historic district in Huntsville, Alabama. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 18, 1978. Roughly bounded by Dement and Lincoln Sts., and Randolph and Walker Avenues, it features homes in a variety of styles including Victorian, Federal, Greek Revival, Queen Anne, American Craftsman, and even Prairie School with homes dating from the late 1820s through the early 20th century. The Old Town Historic District had its beginnings in 1973, when local architect Harvie Jones suggested to home owners Charles E. and Frances J. Rice that they create another district to include the 19th century homes that remained outside of the Twickenham Historic District. The Rices accordingly began obtaining the necessary petitions and documents to gain first local, then state and finally national recognition for the Old Town Historic District. They were supported in their efforts by then Huntsville mayor Joe W. Davis, Madison County Commissioner Tilman Hill, and Alabama U. S. Senator John Sparkman. The Rices were later honored by the Alabama Historical Commission for their contributions to historic preservation, and in 2009 a small park in Old Town was named after them.

The window's keystone acts as a corbel for a massive bay window on the second floor. Above the door is a stone panel, flanked by turrets and marked with "I. Schiffman". Above the panel are two small windows and a smaller version of the cornice. Three windows on the third floor, two above the bay window and one above the door side, each have a decorative stone arch above a single lintel. The stone cornice has large dentils; the same design is carried down the Eustis side of the building on a pressed metal cornice. The side is faced with stuccoed brick and divided into five bays by protruding pilasters.

Each bay has a single door covered with a shallow pediment that is flanked by one-over-one sash windows topped with a segmented fanlight. Above each window is a decorative brick arch with an ashlar keystone. The sills are a continuous course of ashlar, broken only by the doors and central pilaster, while a similar course of quarry-faced limestone forms the base of the arches. This window treatment is repeated on the second floor façade and on the Randolph Avenue side. The side is also divided into bays by pilasters, and the cornice on the middle bay is raised.The building is adjacent to the May and Cooney Dry Goods Company and behind it on Randolph Avenue is the Randolph Street Church of Christ.

It was built in 1913 by the May and Cooney Dry Goods company to replace their building which was destroyed by a fire in 1911.

Penney moved into the building in 1934 and remained until 1966, when it moved to "The Mall" on University Drive. In 1973, it was purchased by the county and renovated to house a public law library. The building is a three-story structure with the façade faced in white glazed terra cotta. The street level has a large arch, decorated with a line of bay leaf clusters surrounded by alternating green and red blocks. The inside of the arch was converted from a storefront to large glass panes with a single central entrance in the 1973 renovation. The second and third floors each have five one-over-one sash windows, with the third floor windows slightly smaller than the second. The building is topped with a projecting course of bay leaf garlands, a set of five colored panels in line with the windows, and a corbeled cornice with several rows of geometric designs.The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
