It was originally known as the Hickson W. Field building; later, it was used as a ship chandlery and known as the Baker, Carver & Morrell Building.[4] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
In 1982, the real estate developer Daniel W. Gerrity converted the building to residential use, adding a sixth story. The architects for the project were Buttrick White & Burtis.[5]
