It was designed by half brothers, John F. Cook and Charles B. Cook. The construction of the building was completed in 1885. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

The building was built using bricks from Zanesville, Ohio. It has a stone and terracotta trim and a slate roof.[3] The main feature of the building is a five story circular tower that sits at the corner.
