Over 100 years old, the building has been renovated into loft apartments and retail space.}[4] Since 1967, its roof has featured large neon letters spelling the callsign of radio station WKDF (and before that, its predecessor, WKDA), which occupied part of the building until moving to new facilities in 1978.[3]
