The building that housed the Italian Village, at at 901 Columbus Avenue, was built in 1923 and was originally a nightclub called the Lido Lounge or Club Lido. The Italian Village was a dance and jazz venue in the 1940's to 1960's. The club name was shortened to The Village some time around the end of the 1960's or early 1970's. during the early 1970's The Village was a rock venue. Jerry Garcia played at The Village with Merl Saunders in 1972 and 1973.

In the early 1980's the same building was the brief base for the relocated Boarding House. Later in the 1980's it became Bal Tabarin and Wolfgang's. The latter closed after a fire in 1987. The 7th Note jazz club opened in the building in 1990 and in 2003 it became Cobb's Comedy Club.
