Chester Williams Building, built in 1926, was designed by Curlett & Beelman, the architectural duo responsible for several buildings in the area, most notably the Eastern Columbia and Ninth and Broadway buildings.[1]
In 2012, Chester Williams Building was converted to an 88-unit apartment complex, at which point Broadway and 5th became the second historic core intersection with all four corners occupied by residential structures; the first was 6th and Spring.[2]
