The area of Jefferson Street was known as "Grocery Row", due to the number of grocery, vegetable, and fruit warehouses on the block. The Lombardo Building is adjacent to the Kelly Brothers and Rowe Building, 305 Jefferson Street, and the Halsey Grocery Warehouse, and less than a block from the W. L. Halsey Warehouse. The buildings lie one block south of the Huntsville Depot.[3]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
