While the interior has been adapted for modern retail and dining, the building remains a physical link to Fort Scott's late 19th-century prosperity. The main level of approx. 5000 sq. ft. is currently leased and operated as a restaurant. A list of restaurant equipment remaining with the building and recent building improvements is available. Approx. 2500 sq. ft. of the upper level is office space with a current lease in a portion of that. The building has a full "utility and storage style" basement.
