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 early 2008, the building was purchased by Townsend Inc, of Overland Park, Kansas and was converted to a high-end mixed use residential and commercial space. The building was divided into three subdivisions; the lowest floor, The Pavilion, has area reserved for commercial space, the management offices, and security. There is also a refurbished food court with local and national food vendors, flat screen televisions, and a fountain. Floor two houses a fitness center and movie theater for building residents. Floors two to seven are reserved for high-end apartments, The Renata. Floors eight and nine consist of luxury condominiums that are separate and secure from the apartments, The Enclave. The building also features an on-site concierge and heated underground parking. The tenth floor at the top of the building was originally a gorgeous ballroom and now is converted into one bedroom apartments.[2]
