Another expanding segment of the economy was automobile sales. Robert M. Hargrove, who bought these lots in 1919 and started work on a two-story stucco home, was president of the Hargrove-Slaughter Motor Company at 10th and Broadway. Since he and his family moved out, the wooden porch supports have been replaced with wrought-iron and a decorative balustrade has been added to the porch roof.
