The building is located on a commercial corridor on Long Street, east of Downtown Columbus. It was built by James Albert Jackson and James Williams. Jackson had noticed a shortage of office space for Black professionals alongside an increasing population as Blacks left the South during the Great Migration.[2]
The two-story commercial structure was designed by George W. Abernethy in the Mission and Spanish Colonial Revival styles. It is made of brick with limestone trim, arched window frames and doorways, and an overhanging red Spanish tile roof.[2]
