The 10-story building was designed by architect Andrew Solomon Layton and was completed in November 1923. It was comissioned by T.E. Braniff for his companies Leonard & Braniff, real estate lenders and the T.E. Braniff Company. At the time, the Braniff Building was cutting edge, with an acoustically perfect ceiling on the building's main floor, a basement-level conference room, dining room and kitchen for employees. It also included a fireproof coal storage area in its basement. The building was completely renovated in 2014 preserving the original North and West facade of the building while introducing a full glass exterior on the East. Historical aspects of the interior include the original iron stairway and railings. The ground-floor lobby mimics the lobby of the Strata Tower, including a stairway corridor that leads up to the second floor. The building is currently on the National Register of Historic Places.
