Schoenfeld Brothers, Incorporated, operated its neckwear business in this sparsely decorated, one-story industrial building. German-Jewish immigrants, the Schoenfeld Brothers, Max and Theodore, operated the business in 1929, the former as Vice-President, the latter as Secretary-Treasurer. They commissioned the Seattle architect Henry W. Bittman (1882-1953) to design their factory. They previously operated their business at 1601 2nd Avenue in the Schoenfeld Building. In 1911, the firm produced its own neckwear, and served as wholesalers for Boston and Paris garters, handkerchiefs and suspenders. At this time, the Schoenfeld Brothers' business was situated at 308 Washington Street, near 3rd Avenue South.

The masonry building, which contained a basement, occupied a .19 acre lot; it contained 9,453 gross square feet, 8,000 net. The property had a taxable value of $3,229,400 in 2012.

This factory was remodeled to become the Recovery Cafe, a service organization designed to provide support and therapeutic programs for individuals battling substance addiction problems. The cafe opened in 01/2004 following a long renovation process.
