In 1851 Jeremiah Cronin and Oliver C. Comstock held a mortgage for this property. In 1853 Comstock moved his business to this building from Exchange Square. The building must have been two stories as the Expounder newspaper moved in above Comstock in 1853. In 1856 Comstock discontinued his business and the newspaper moved to a new location at 201 East Michigan. Jeremiah Cronin moved to a wooden frame building across from the Post Office on the corner of State and Jefferson streets in 1857.
