That building (built in the 50's) was re-developed several times over the decades. Someone older and familiar with the area can confirm but previous research indicated it might have been some sort of mechanic/auto-related business. Originally, the building was a mix of small businesses with no major anchor tenant.

Actually, before Stong's left the area, it was originally located kitty corner during the 60-70s, where the 7-Eleven is now.
