Summary

Description William Gibson bought this lot in 1913 for the sum of one dollar, as it was believed the odd, pie-shaped lot was all but unuseable. The building was originally to be 3 floors, another was added after construction had already begun. The building originally held offices on the upper floors, but were later converted to apartments. There was a Turkish bath in the basement in operation from 1914 till the mid-eighties. The Gibson Block received a three-million dollar restoration in 1994.
