By February 2019, the building had been purchased by Polk Stanley Wilcox Architects (PSW), a firm which had once occupied the Ross Building, also National Register-listed in 2019. The firm was renovating it and planned to move into it in late 2019. An application for tax credits for the renovation was approved in 2018. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019. (en) |
