Four former properties are united in the building. In the middle of the 19th century they were replaced by a new building, which was given the numbers 32 and 34. The first shop of the newly founded Muttenz consumer association was set up in the old building in 1894.
The neighboring property No. 36 is described in the fire log in 1807 as a "little house with barn and stables". In 1854 the building was rebuilt and sold to the ACV in 1952.
The smallest plot No. 38 and 38a was sold in 1936 to the municipality of Muttenz. In 1950 it was demolished. Through an exchange agreement, the part on the main street came into the possession of the ACV, the rear part on the Schulstrasse to the municipality of Muttenz, which made it possible to build a new fire department storage facility.
