In 1880, Mr. Edward Kendall founded the company to manufacture steam boilers. Kendall Boiler and Tank Company relocated to its present home in Chelmsford, MA in the 20th century.[2]

The building was restored by Pfeufer Richardson Architects to meet ADA standards for accessibility. There is 8,000 square feet of office space and an underground parking garage.[3] In 2000, the building received a Cambridge Historical Commission Preservation Award.[4]

The building was used by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) until they moved to their new East Cambridge church building, in 2010.[5] In 2012 hack/reduce, a nonprofit Big Data workspace founded by Christopher P. Lynch of Atlas Ventures and Frederic Lalonde of Hopper, opened its doors.[6]
