History of the Baker Center

(Continued...)

A five story office building on the corner of Eighth Street and Marquette Avenue ("the Arcade Building")

A three story office building between the hotel and Arcade Building along Marquette Avenue

A two story office store front building between the Baker Building and the hotel ("Baker Annex")

Because of strong demand for office space in 1925 the plans for Terminal Block were changed. Instead of building the hotel on the corner of Seventh Street and Marquette Avenue another twelve story office building was constructed. The original name of this development was the Terminal Building but because of a conflict with the local transit company the name was changed to the Roanoke Building.
