The Classical Revival buildings were designed by John A. Fox and Coolidge, Shepley, Bulfinch and Abbott and constructed between 1892 and 1927. Around the time of the construction of the Badger Building in 1927, brick connectors were constructed between all three buildings; these have since been demolished.[2] The buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1] Since 1999 Rogerson Communities (founded in 1860 as the Home for Aged Men) has taken the lead in fundraising to redevelop the property.
