History
The Gold and Company Store building was announced in November 1923 and would be built for the Gold and Company Store. Gold and Company was founded in 1902 and was originally located on the North Part of the block.[2] The building officially opened in November 1924.[3] In 1929, two additions were built adjacent to the building.[4]
The building underwent several other expansions in 1931, 1935, 1947, and 1951. In 1964 Gold & Company merged with J. L. Brandeis and Sons and the building continued operation under the Gold's name. In 1977, Brandeis opened a new location and later closed their location at the Gold's Building in 1980.[5] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 19, 1982.[1]
In 2021, the building was sold to developer Mike Works.[6] By the 2020s, the building had become largely uninhabitable. In 2022, a redevelopment plan was announced for the site, which would demolish the South side of the building, and would renovate the original building into a hotel.[7] In 2023, demolition began on the South side of the building and was completed by May of that same year.[8][9]
