Sometime before 1953, Albemarle Oil and Gas Company built 1 story, five room service station. In 1953, the company hired architect M. L. Tinnies to add steel supports to the concrete floor. Soon after, cars were sold from the this new showroom.

In 1965, the Charlottesville Oil Company made alterations to the building.

By the 1970's, the building became known as Knauff's Auto Service.

In 1989, gasoline storage tanks were removed from the site.

In 1995, the building was occupied by Don's Florist but a portion of the property was taken through eminent domain. [2]

Developer Mark Green submitted plans to renovate the building that went before the Charlottesville Board of Architectural Review on January 20, 2015. [3]
