House of David's building is comprised of two historic houses: a 1913 brick Colonial Revival foursquare at 1205 Sixteenth Avenue South and a 1909 Colonial Revival bungalow at 1207 Sixteenth Avenue South. The 1913 building was originally owned by landscape architect George B. Moulder (1869-1959), while Edward B. Dakin, manager of the Nashville Banner newspaper, owned the 1909 building. Both buildings were purchased by musician David Briggs (1943-) in 1972 and then repurposed into recording studios, office spaces, artist lounges, and music equipment storage. In order to maintain the integrity of the original buildings, all renovations were designed to be reversible. The 1913 building serves as the main recording studio spaces while the 1909 building houses the publishing house offices.
