First built around 1900, with todays looks from 1928, Kronebutikken which is situated at Høeghvollen, was a village shop. It was moved here from Storslett where its location was by the junction between the roads Gammelbruvegen and Tømmernesvegen. The museum took ownership of and renovated the building in 1992, but in 2006 it was taken over by the companies Nortro and Reisa Skinnprodukter. Parts of the old shop fittings are still in place and the shop now sells contemporary craft work and second hand kitchen utensils. The building also houses Reisa Skinnprodukter's workshop and office as well as other offices.

Kronebutikken has one and a half storeys and a rectangular footprint measuring 8.25x10.65m. The walls are made of timber stud framework with external vertical cladding. The steep pitched slate roof has an angle of 45 degrees. The main entrance is on the northeast side of the building and at each side of the door there is an area with smoother white cladding the same height as the large windows at each side. The building's windows, of varying size, are typical of the jugend style (northern European art nouveau) and the window heads are supported by decoratively shaped consoles.
