A Little History Of The Building

The Walker & Weeks building was built in 1927 by architects Frank R. Walker and Harry E. Weeks and is listed on the National Historical Building Registry. The fifth and sixth floors of the building served as office space for their architectural firm. The second, third and fourth floors of the building were rented out to various tenants throughout the years and the ground floor was leased to a Lincoln Motor Car dealer.
