This small commercial storefront office building was built in 1951, and though it is only 22 feet wide, it originally had two separate entrances, allowing for two separate businesses to occupy the building. To help make the businesses in the small building more visible, a large roof sign was added in 1970, and a pole sign in 1972. A makeover in the 1980s added rusticated wooden shingles and a stone veneer over the stucco façade, giving the building a bit more character. It is now occupied by Crash Space, a hacker/maker space established here in 2009.
