The building contained African American owned businesses, an auditorium, and a roof garden. It served as the site of many black social functions of the 1920’s and 1930’s. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, then renovated in the 1980’s. Easements Atlanta holds an easement on the tower portion of the complex.
