The building was home to the ''Columbus Dispatch'' newspaper offices until January 2016, when it moved to 62 E. Broad St. on Capitol Square. A renovation restored the building closer to its original exterior appearance, while adding modern features.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cbusarch.com/story/the-dispatch-building-renovation/ |title=The Historic Dispatch Building Renovation &#124; The Columbus Architectural Studio |publisher=Cbusarch.com |date=2019-09-23 |accessdate=2020-05-20}}</ref> The building is now headquarters to the Ohio Chamber of Commerce.<ref>{{cite web|author=Marla Matzer Rose |url=https://www.dispatch.com/business/20180117/ohio-chamber-to-move-headquarters-to-former-dispatch-building |title=Ohio chamber to move headquarters to former Dispatch building - Business - The Columbus Dispatch - Columbus, OH |publisher=Dispatch.com |date= |accessdate=2020-05-20}}</ref> The building is owned by Capitol Square Ltd., a real estate and development branch of the Wolfe family’s Dispatch Printing Co., the former owners of the ''Dispatch''.<ref name="Weese"/> The site formerly housed the city's downtown YMCA, a Yost & Packard building; the Y moved to the Downtown YMCA building in 1923.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.columbusunderground.com/downtown-columbus-ymca-stands-tall-serves-all/|title=Downtown Columbus YMCA Stands Tall, Serves All|date=Mar 5, 2013|accessdate=Aug 27, 2021}}</ref>
