DBI holds 183 permits for this parcel, most of them tenant improvements on individual floors. The timeline shows the 24 largest by stated cost, plus the earliest on file; the DBI query in the sources below returns all 183. 8 of them are nominal $1 street-space or sidewalk permits.

Not yet documented: the year the building went up, the developer, the early tenants, who designed the open space and the date of the last recorded sale. The 1902 Mutual Savings Bank Building by William Curlett is the historic core; a 1964 addition was designed by Clark & Beuttler with Charles Moore, and a further Bloszies-designed addition followed, with one secondary source (CommercialCafe) giving 2009 for that addition's completion.
