About the Baker and Hamilton Building
This impressive building was constructed in 1905. It was originally used for business purposes. Over the years, it has seen many changes.
A New Life for an Old Building
Around the year 2000, the Baker and Hamilton Building got a big makeover. It was changed into modern office spaces. The first company to move in was called Organic, Inc.
Later, the building was empty for a while. Then, in 2005, a company called Macromedia moved in. Just two years later, in 2007, Adobe Systems took over the building. This happened after Adobe Systems bought Macromedia. Today, it continues to be a busy office building.
