[edit] About

The original eight stories were constructed in 1906 and were designed by architect John Latenser, Sr. in Neo-Renaissance style. The structure cost 1 million to build. Two more stories were later added to the building in 1921. Though the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982,^[1] it has been through a series of several internal remodeling ventures that have had mixed results. In 2005, developers began a major renovation project converting the former department store into luxury condominiums. In early 2008, the building was purchased with the intent to convert it to mixed use residential and commercial space. The lowest floor will be reserved for commercial spaces, floors two to seven will have apartments while floors eight and nine will consist of condominiums. The tenth floor at the top of the building was originally a ballroom and no decision has been made regarding plans for that floor.^[2]
