It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It is located in the Washington Street-Monument Circle Historic District.
It remains unclear who was the first owner of the building. There is a local tale that the ghost of a medical assistant killed in the building in 1911 haunts the building. Lynn B. Millikan bought the building that same year and turned it into the Hotel Barton. It was turned into a nursing home in 1966, and the Salvation Army eventually became the owner.
