A Bungalow of marginal significance due to alteration, this house was probably
built in 1924 by George R. Safley, possibly as a speculative venture. Just
three years later, Alan R. Smith, who owned Smith' s Furniture Store, was listed
as the resident here. Safley ran an undertaking and furniture business in the
small commercial block he built at 30 W. Main.
