The offices of the Hanson Brothers Building originally occupied three of the four floors. In 1949, the Hanson Brothers rented the three lower floors to a major insurance company, but they were still present on the top floor of the building until its sale in 1953. One year later, the building was purchased by the London Insurance Co. which occupied the whole building until 1976. Since then, the vocation of the building remained unchanged, today it still houses offices.
