Jordan had his office here, as did physician W.B. Black. Businesses operating out of the building included the [[Gem Pharmacy]], [[Ritz Beer Garden]], and [[Dreamland Grill]]. The [[Dreamland Ballroom]] operated on the third floor beginning in 1937. The [[United Service Club]] (USO) purchased the entire building in 1941 and made it a club for African American servicemen. Musicians who performed here were Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, and "Fatha" Earl Hines. Sammie Davis, Jr. and Redd Foxx also did their comedic routines in the Taborian USO. Local musicians who performed at the USO included Lloyd Armon, Blind Al Hibbler, Louis Jordan, and the Yellowjackets.

In 1954 the building, rechristened Taborian Hall, held three nightclubs. The [[Twin City Club]] operated out of the basement. The [[Waiters Club]] occupied the second floor. The Dreamland on the third floor became the [[Club Morocco]]. In the 1950s Ray Charles and B.B. King performed here.
