Its main facade has retained the massive granite pilasters and five-bay configuration from this period.
Originally built to house a theater, the building suffered a massive fire in 1844, leaving only its exterior shell standing.
It was afterward rebuilt to its present height, and a separate brick building at its rear was incorporated into its structure in the late 19th century.
