The building originally held offices for the Racine and Mississippi Railroad and has served a variety of other uses since its construction. Many of the businesses and institutions which occupied the building were the first of their kind in Racine, including the city's first public library, municipal court, vaudeville theater, movie theater, and Turkish bath, as well as the United States' first vocational school.[2] The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 13, 1977.[1]
