The building was constructed in 1895 and was designed for a brewer’s office and insurance agency.[2] In 1986, it was renovated by Lincoln Construction Co. into offices.[3] By 2019, the building was vacant and in 2022, architecture firm BBCO and Day Companies purchased the building. Renovations were completed in 2024.[2]
The building was nominated to the National Register for its significance as one of few 19th century commercial buildings with stone facades left in Columbus, and the most ornamental of those that remain.[1][4]
