In April 2021, Chase consolidated its offices, vacating the three floors it occupied in Chase Tower. The building's Chase bank branch and name are still to remain.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2023.

The building replaced the Rowland office building, demolished in 1963. The Rowland had a restaurant and clock repair shop in its basement, a health food store upstairs, and storefronts on its street level including shoe stores, an eyeglass store, piano store, art gallery, and dance studio.[4]
