In 1915, William E. Robb founded the Citizens' Mutual Automobile Insurance Company; its first office was at 113 East Grand River Avenue, Howell, Michigan. In 1918, Citizens' built a new office at 304 East Grand River Avenue, Howell Michigan, and during the 1930's, the expanding business added a second floor to that office.

The new building was located at 845 West Grand River Avenue, near the intersection of West Grand River Avenue and Byron Road. The building was completed in 1956, and was 77,000 square feet, and its walls were made of Indiana limestone.
On October 22, 1956, Citizens' Mutual Automobile Insurance Company held an open house at the new office building, and over 1000 Livingston County residents attended. These photographs, taken during the open house, include view of the interior and exterior of the building, and pictures of people attending the events.
