The AGA Realty Company immediately began plans for a complete interior renovation to bring the building up to modern standards. As the renovations got under way plans to add a two to three story annex to the north fagade began to surface. In 1973 AGA Realty Company and the First Bank & Trust sold the building to the Economic Development Company, who completed the remodeling in 1975. The building continued to change ownership through out the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s until it was sold in 1995 to the current owners John and Donna Freidline.
