Tax records seem to indicate that this house was built about 1925. By 1929 Webb and Yates were using it as their real estate office, and in 1930 M. DeForest Yates was in private business there. He remained throughout the 1930s and after his death in January 1939, the real estate company was taken over by his widow Marion and son Wilson Yates. Marion and Wilson also dealt in insurance. After his death, Marion also moved into the building and lived there. The post office was located here for a time in 1942 when the pharmacy was closed between the proprietorships of Watkins and Turner.Collection
