Denver architect Jacques Benedict designed the building in 1922 in the Classical Revival style. This grant is helping to fund the recommendations made in a Historic Structure Assessment conducted in 2005—specifically, the replacement of its roof, which is cracking, blistering, and allowing water infiltration.

The building is listed on the National Register.
