This building was constucted as the physician's office of Dr. Parvin Davis in 1928. It replaced an earlier, Federal-style structure that stood on the site, pictured below in a photo from the collection of the Indiana Room at the New Albany-Floyd County Library. Dr. Davis practiced medicine in New Albany for forty years, and served as a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army during World War II. The building offers a notable example of the Art Deco style, uncommon in New Albany.
