The Mack-International Motor Truck Corp. Building was constructed in 1924 Mack Truck branch sales and service center and occupies an entire quarter-block corner site.

By 2015, the building had suffered from decades of neglect. The rehabilitation included masonry repairs, restoration of windows, and code-driven safety improvements.

The interior floor plans retained the large open spaces as common spaces and inserted 26 living units that varies in size from smaller studios to one bedroom and two bedroom units. Steel bowstring trusses were left exposed, concrete floors and raw masonry retained, and exposed ceilings retained where possible. In the original office spaces, plaster walls and ceilings, wood trim, wood doors, wood windows, and wood floors were retained.

The building, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, utilized federal and state historic tax credits, workforce housing tax credits, government support, and owner equity.
