The oldest existing commercial building in East Lansing, its sketchy background indicates it might have originally been a grocery store that predated the Collegeville development. E.L. Historic Commission documents cite its date as circa 1910, which might have been when it was moved about 500 feet north from a location closer to Michigan Avenue. [Miller, p. 24.]
