If the address is correct, this has been demolished. 12 was originally a storefront in the Independent Block, a two story brick commercial building with four storefronts constructed before 1884. This building appears to have been remodeled ore replaced sometime after 1921, with a three storefront building replacing the 10-14 addresses, and 16 either retaining the old facade or being remodeled separately. After the 2018 tornado, 10-14 was apparently damaged. It still appears on the 2019 streetview, but now only the piece that is at 14 remains.

That said, I suspect this address is wrong. Both the 1901 and 1910 maps show a dry goods store at 12.
