It was designed by architects Frederick German and Anton Werner Lignell and built in 1908 to provide programs and activities for Duluth's young, single women.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011 for its local significance in the theme of social history. It was nominated for its role in local civic development through the YWCA's social welfare efforts.After a century in the building, the YWCA sold the property to the American Indian Community Housing Organization (AICHO) in 2008. The YWCA had determined that it was no longer using the space to its full capacity and it was financially burdensome for them to maintain. AICHO planned to adapt the space to create apartments, a cultural center, an art gallery, a health-care clinic, and offices for social services, while retaining the auditorium, gymnasium, and rooftop play area. The YWCA relocated its headquarters to another building and arranged to lease space in the old for its child-care center.

It was nominated for being a leading local example of its architectural style and a key turning point in the career of an important Duluth-based architect.The building was commissioned by Max Wirth to house his pharmacy business.
