Opened in 1935, it is home to the oldest continuously operating African American musicians' organization in the United States.

[2] As of 2021, the Colored Musicians Club is undergoing a massive reconstruction and renovation.

Under plans by Stieglitz Snyder Architecture and execution from Kanaka Construction Management, the expansion will add over 2,000 square feet of space to the existing building.

The addition will provide a new handicapped-accessible main entrance that includes a reception and lobby area, and an elevator.

The second floor will feature a prominently projecting glass-walled flexible rehearsal and event space with two practice rooms and a lobby that connects to the existing building via an enclosed bridge.
