Quick Facts Location, Coordinates ...

The lot was purchased by Daniel Sciumbato in 1901, with a two-room adobe house in place. About 1908, added a false-fronted frame building to the front and opened a grocery store in that plus the east room of the adobe structure. A house adjacent to the west, and the west room of the adobe structure, became his family's residence. In about 1910 the house adjacent was moved elsewhere, and a brick house was built around the adobe structure.[2]

The grocery store was operated by Sciumbato until his death in 1942; his son George then took over and the store continued in operation until 1974.[2]
