It is a large industrial brick building designed by Mortimer & Company and constructed by Fidelity Construction in 1910-11 [2] for the American Ice Company, a business that manufactured and delivered ice throughout the Mid-Atlantic and South.

[2] A more extensive fire that destroyed the more recent additions to the dry ice plant and caused severe damage to a corner of the original circa 1911 factory occurred on March 2, 2004.

[1] Partial demolition and construction of a new mixed-use event space, restaurant, concert venue, artist incubator, and community facility was set to begin in July 2019, with projected completion by Summer 2020.

The project was never started or finished, and as recent as 2022 the property was up for lease, auction, or sale by several real estate companies locally in Baltimore.
