This building was built in 1907 for the Dorris Motor Car Company. The company was founded by George Dorris and they manufactured luxury automobiles. The company closed in 1926 being unable to compete with mass produced car manufacturers. The building was then used by the Brauer Brothers Shoe Company as a shoe manufacturing facility. The building has been renovated and now is used by the Center for Emerging Technologies, a business incubator.
