From the City's report regarding the inclusion of this property on the Heritage Registry:
"Located at the northeast corner of Geary and Delaware avenues, the two properties at 44-46 Geary Avenue together contain a fine representative, semi-detached pair of Main Street Commercial Row type buildings constructed c.1913 for George Montgomery, a long-time local butcher and resident. Montgomery's presence on the street predates the subject buildings and the historical record suggests that the gable- roofed house-form building constructed by 1889, set back from the street and attached at the rear of 44 Geary Avenue was likely Montgomery's residence and business prior to 1913.

Unique to Geary Avenue, this discrete two-storey pair represents the early periods of development of the street with residential and commercial buildings lining its north side. Features of the type evident here are the two-storey scale, original commercial storefront at grade (unaltered here) with residential above defined by a central Edwardian-style bay window. This highly intact pair at 44-46 Geary Avenue also features original details including the wooden window and door frames, a deep wooden cornice spanning the two storefronts, existing leaded glass transoms, and decorative red brick laid in a sawtooth pattern below the roofline."
