Context: A previous building on this site housed Abernethy and Luz Plumbing and Heating for many years. Nelson Abernethy last used it for his plumbing business in 1953. It was listed as vacant from the mid-1950s to 1969. The address is not found from 1970 through 1972. The original building was narrow but deep, according to the 1940 Sanborn Insurance Map. In 1973, the current wide building appeared and was occupied by Roy McGregor as a residence. It is currently a rental residence.
