The Jerome Building is a converted lumberyard constructed in 1960. The southern portion of the original structure was the retail area of the building. The rear portion of the first floor was used as the lumber warehouse and the upstairs was the company's executive offices. In the last 1970's the building was purchased by some investors from the Jerome's and converted to offices for the County. During the 1980's the entire building was utilized from government offices. In the late 1990's after the County decided to purchase their own facilities, the building was renovated and converted into smaller office for engineering firms, law offices and general office purposes. Today, although the original structure is intact; the interior spaces have been totally converted to modern efficient offices. An elevator and lobby was added to the building to improve access to the second floor. The building layout provides flexibility for tenants with spaces that range from 550 square feet executive suites to spaces of 1,701, 1,800 and 2,200 square feet, respectively. The building was one of the first buildings that was fully sprinklered in downtown Fort Myers. All of the restrooms are color coordinated with tile floors and walls. Common spaces are finished with carpet and slate and tastefully decorated with art from annual Downtown Art Show. The Jerome Building has 49 on-site parking space, WIFI and is located on the fiber-optic ring around downtown Fort Myers.
