The State originally acquired the property in 1929 by its State of Tennessee Workshop for the Blind. In 2004, the State deeded the property to the non-profit organization, Ed Lindsey Industries for the Blind Inc.
Deed stipulations required that the site had to continue the operation of a workshop or rehabilitation facility for the benefit of blind persons, and if that use ended, the State could either take back the property or sell it for $625,000 to the nonprofit corporation.
Over the years, broom, brushes and mops for commercial and households were among items made by visually impaired workers. The organization once sold between 15,000 to 20,000 mops and or brooms a year to state agencies, the affiliated Lions Thrift Store and to Lions clubs statewide.
Blind workers also helped customers in the Lions Thrift Store which operated out of the front of the building.
The state believes that operations ceased in 2015.
