Not yet documented: the developer, the early tenants and the date of the last recorded sale. The assessor dates the building to 1909; the OMI Historic Context Statement (2010) gives 1921 in its narrative text and 1923 in a photo caption, for the church rebuilt after a 1920 fire destroyed a predecessor on this site.
