Then in 1817 it was rebuilt to house a bank. It was remodeled with a new façade (the first floor of which remains) in 1840. It continued to serve as various banks until 1861 at the outbreak of the Civil War. In 1873, it became the headquarters of The News and Courier, a predecessor to today's Post and Courier. It served in this capacity until 1902. The earthquake of 1886 caused significant damage, but it was repaired, as evinced by its earthquake bolts. Afterwards, the top 2 stories became simple stucco over brick. The Jacobson Building (as well as Jake's Market) earned its current moniker from lawyer I.H. "Jake" Jacobson, who bought the building to start his law firm in 1953. For 20 years, he practiced law here until his death in 1973. At this point it was passed to his grandson, the current owner. He converted to the current inn/condo concept in 2002, while retaining the ground-level storefront. Now you have the opportunity to put your mark on this extraordinary building with 18th century roots.
