The building is currently occupied by Brennan, Manna & Diamond, LLC. It was the first permanent home of the Akron Art Institute, from 1948 to 1981. It is a monumental one-story block building, faced with "smooth-dressed coursed ashlar of Ohio buff sandstone. Elements of Beaux Arts style are its colossal columns, its detailed entablature, and parapet. Elements of French Renaissance sub-style are its mansard roof, the projecting front pavilion, and the "grotesque mask above the entry". It was regarded as one of Weary's best works. The building was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on January 19, 1983. (en)
