==History==
Cigar making in Sarasota began in 1911 with the founding of Sarasota Cigar Company. By 1913, a second cigar company, Roth Cigar Factory, was established in the city. The company was owned and operated by two brothers: Edward and Michael Roth.<ref name="SHA">{{cite web |accessdate=August 8, 2019 |title=Cigar Industry Thrived for a Time in Sarasota |website=Sarasota History Alive! |url=http://www.sarasotahistoryalive.com/history/articles/cigar-industry-thrived-for-a-time-in-sarasota/}}</ref> The brothers began their cigar production at a factory and newsstand located at 220 Main Street. 

In 1920, Edward Roth acquired land for a separate cigar factory. The building was constructed in 1922 and completed the following year—the same time as the nearby Mira Mar Apartments ([[DeMarcay Hotel]]) and [[Mira Mar Hotel]], buildings that were all designed by [[Thomas Reed Martin]].<ref name="nris"/><ref name="SHA"/> Cigars were produced at the factory and then sold at the main store nearby, located at 214 Main Street.<ref name="SHA"/> The building was used until 1938 when it was vacated and the cigar company relocated to Pineapple Avenue nearby.

On March 22, 1984, it was added to the [[National Register of Historic Places]].
