Located at 1427–1429 Randolph Street in Detroit, this three-story brick commercial building was constructed in 1914 by Detroit building contractors Bryant & Detweiler for Max Broock, a prominent local real estate developer. The building permit described the structure as a store and warehouse with a reinforced concrete frame.
The building was initially occupied by the Taepke Zepf Paint Company, which remained there from 1914 until the early 1920s. Although Max Broock died in 1915, his estate retained ownership of the property until 1971. Architecturally, the building is a utilitarian brick structure with little ornamental detail. Its original first-floor treatment and cornice have been substantially altered. The second and third floors retain two groupings of four windows each, with masonry corbel blocks beneath the window sills and square stone motifs at the tops of the pilasters.
In more recent years, the property has been associated with The Vinyl Society, an upscale, black-owned luxury cocktail lounge and event venue. The building received local historic designation on May 16, 1988, as part of the Madison-Harmonie Historic District.
