The Kerr Building originally housed Eclipse Mills, but in later years it was home to J. J. Newberry's and The Corner Drug Store. By 1999, the building was vacant and in disrepair. As a result of the deterioration, the Bluegrass Trust for Historic Preservation placed the Kerr Building on its "11th Hour" Most Endangered list. In 2001, the building was purchased by Union Properties and Bailey Associates, who began refurbishing the building in August 2002, including repairing water damage, leaks in the roof, and worn storefronts. The renovations took more than three years (it was completed in December 2005) and cost more than $2 million. The building now houses around of senior living space and of commercial space.〔
The wooden rooster on the roof of the building is said to have been placed there as the result of a bet involving the outcome of the 1932 presidential election. The original rooster eventually disappeared, but a replacement was installed during the 2002 renovation.〔
