Jacob Rosenberg was a Jewish merchant who leased a store at this prominent corner lot in 1896. The site was owned by the Tift family, who founded Albany. Rosenberg had a new department store building constructed on the site in 1923 in a Second Renaissance Revival architecture style. It continued in business until 1978 when a second Rosenberg's location opened within the, then new, Albany Mall in 1976. Gray Communications bought and renovated the building in 1985 for $850,000 (~$2.05 million in 2023) to house the Albany Herald.^[1][2]

The building, and several nearby buildings, were sold to the city of Albany for $850,000.^[3] The Herald, which occupied the building for more than three decades, moved out in December 2019.^[4]
