Marking the original center of Mentor, the old village hall was built in 1888 in the Queen Anne style. The City of Mentor discontinued the use of the property in 1976. In December of 2013, an affiliate of NMS Certified Public Accounts (NMS) acquired the building and converted it into its Mentor accounting, tax and wealth management offices. The project was completed in December of 2016.

​

JCI provided construction management & general contracting services for the project. Sandvick Architects of Cleveland served as historical consultants and architects for the project. JCI worked in coordination with the owner & Sandvick to comply with all historical guidelines and ensure material adherence with Ohio Historic Preservation Office and the National Park Service.
