The building was designed by noted architect J. M. McMichael and constructed in 1914 as the corporate offices for several mill companies.
In the early 1970s the companies run by Pickney Stowe moved out and Stowe Mills bought their share of the building. The building underwent a dramatic transformation and was aesthetically re-designed by John (Skipper) Graham. He painted it white and changed the windows, entrance, and the interior décor.
In 1988, a modern addition was added which was designed by Mike Tribble then of Clark, Tribble, Harris & Li. Today, the building is owned by a real estate investment trust and leased as offices. See before & after photos below.
