History
editIt was originally constructed in 1922 to serve as the headquarters and flagship store for the J. K. Gill Company, a office supply and bookstore chain in the Pacific Northwest. The eight-story building was designed by the architectural firm Sutton & Whitney.[3]
The structure once served as the J. K. Gill Company's flagship store. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in February 2021.[2][4]
In July 2024, Menashe Properties purchased the 90,000-square-foot building for $3.25 million after it had undergone renovations but struggled to attract tenants.[5]
