This building, with its tri-partite design of base, shaft and terminating cornice, highly decorative wall surfaces and high level of architectural integrity, is cleary representative of commercial structures during the early 20th century. The Ohio General Assembly took action in 1812 to select a central location for a permanent state capital. Rather than choosing an established settlement, a site located on the undeveloped east side of the Scioto River was selected as the new site for Ohio's Capital.

To this day, the ten-acre Capitol Square forms including hotels, banks, churches, commercial structures and even single-family houses. As today, when much of the square is surrounded by high-rise office towers. Within just a few blocks of Capitol Square the density of development is very different, with smaller scale (2-5 story) commercial structures as the predominant building type, generally accommodate people who drive downtown to work in the office towers). Parking lots and one time contained continuous commercial streetscapes. The south end of downtown Columbus (south of Broad Street), where the Stoddart Block is located, developed in the mid-19th to early 20th centuries as the German area of the city. Germans began settling in Columbus as early as the 1850s and composed by far the largest and many wealthy German entrepreneurs invested in commercial ventures in this part of town.

The Stoddart Block was constructed in 1911 and housed the Frohock Furniture Company from 1911until 1938. Wilfred Frohock, also of German descent, was the secretary of The Home Furnishing Co., located across the street, before he started his own company, which located in the Stoddart Block.
