The Grimmer Building is a Classic Revival commercial building. It stands out from its neighbours thanks to its Boomtown-style front facade with a wide parapet and broad cornice. Fitting its usage as a store, the building has large display windows on either side of its central entrance and a thick line of cornice atop it. 
 
The Grimmer Building was erected in around 1850 for merchant Charles Bradley. The building's location near Wyer’s wharf made it a prime spot for receiving and selling transported goods, allowing Bradley to carry out a successful fifty-year-long career as a dry goods merchant. Beyond his business, Charles also served as the Justice of the Peace for Charlotte County for over 40 years.
 
In the late 19th century, the building found a new purpose as Grimmer’s Grocery Store. Originally run by George Durrell Grimmer, shortly afterwards it was taken over by his brother John Davidson Grimmer, who continued to operate it until the 1930s. From 1943 to the 1970s, the building hosted the St. Andrews liquor store.

Grimmer Building is recognized for its architecture. Built circa 1850 for merchant Charles Bradley, it is a good example of Classic Revival commercial architecture with boomtown elements. It has a unique façade with a stepped parapet and broad cornices. The storefront has a central entranceway flanked by two large storefront windows.

Grimmer Building is also recognized for some of the occupants and for its commercial uses. Charles Bradley obtained this property from the estate of Thomas Wyer Jr. along with the right-of-way to Wyer’s wharf. This wharf access made this a prime location for transported goods being received by the many vessels that landed in St. Andrews. He carried on an extensive dry goods business in the town for about 50 years. He was Justice of the Peace for Charlotte County for over 40 years.
