The district consists of "mainly one to two story brick and wood commercial buildings with a sampling of buildings three stories or more. The commercial buildings are built lot line to lot line with no front or side setbacks along Lincoln Avenue except for the Routt County Courthouse which is set back from Lincoln Avenue with an expansive lawn and the two gas stations that have the pump stations sited at the front of the lot with stores to the rear. The rectangular flat roof buildings typically display storefronts, recessed entryways, second-story narrow windows and parapets (both decorative and non-decorative). The styles featured in the district consist generally of the late 19th and early 20th Century Commercial, Classical Revivals and Modern Movement." [2]

The society was organized on July 22, 1908, by local Christian Scientists, notable among whom was Margaret Crawford, who with her husband, James Crawford, had founded and named Steamboat Springs in 1875. It met at various local sites until November 4, 1934 when the first service was held in its new building. The building site purchased in 1920 had formerly been occupied by the Onyx Hotel. Christian Science churches and societies are no dedicated until they are free of debt and the Steamboat Springs society was dedicated on December 15, 1935. Regular services have been held ever since. The only significant changes in the building since 1934 have been replacing the roof with a metal one to allow snow to slide off and dropping the interior ceiling for better insulation. The side walls have also been stabilized by running several metal rods between them. On August 22, 2007, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
