In the 1990s the Whitten building and adjacent Miller Block were renovated to be the Hotel Lusso. The building once was the location of Louis Davenport's restaurant before the construction of his hotel.[4] The Whitten Block was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 14, 1993.[1]
In 2025 The Davenport Hotel Collection remodeled the building along with the Miller Block, and Hotel was renamed The Louie after Davenport Hotel founder Louis Davenport.
