Built in 1892 by Russell Joy was first occupied by Wynkoop Drug Co. Later occupants included Tagni & Lenti Grocery, The Little Country Grocery, and Bill's Tavern. The building became commonly known as "the Mack Building".

In 1987 the building was remodeled by Merritt Pardini Architects under the direction of Alice Mack and family. this charming, pie-shaped building is now occupied by Tacoma's own premier floral and gift family, the Grassi's, along with their latest endeavor, Grassi's Garden Cafe. The unique architecture provides a stunning backdrop for the breathtaking floral and gift displays which in turn create a warm and inviting setting for the Victorian Style Tea Room upstairs.
