The building that is now the Venue Office and Residence Suites was constructed in 1923 for the Rapp Brothers by F.F "Pat" Patterson. The first story of the two-story building was an automobile retail store for Star and Durant automobiles. The second story had two, two bedroom apartments in the rear.
Across the front was office/commercial space. The repair garage was located behind the showroom in the one story portion. The first story housed the Rapp's Automotive Agency until 1932. Tom Parkinson purchased the empty building in 1937 and opened Parkinson's Grocery Store that he ran for twenty years until he retired in 1957.

Services
The three conference rooms are each named after three early twentieth-century artists: Thomas Benton, John Sloan, and Edward Hopper. These artists were chosen because they were in the height of their careers around the same time the building was constructed. In addition to being a comfortable meeting space, each conference room is a gallery of paintings by the artist for whom the room has been named.
