Constructed in 1917 as the Sochatoff Building, the entire first floor housed a famous jazz club from 1945 to 2003. The club was established by African American businessman William Augustus “Gus” Greenlee and later flourished under the ownership of Greenlee’s partner, Joe Robinson, and later, his son, William “Buzzy” Robinson.
