A former Ford assembly plant built in 1914, the original building is four stories and totals approximately 165,700 sq. ft. A one-story 41,400 sq. ft. building addition came later. Cars were assembled on site until 1932, and Ford used the buildings for administrative purposes until 1942. Ford sold the building to the P.R. Mallory Company, who deeded the property to Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) in 1979.

From 1979 to 2016, IPS used the building as a warehouse until putting the building and surrounding property on the market. Indianapolis-based TWG Development purchased it in 2017 to convert into apartments. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 3, 2021.
