After its completion, the structure initially contained two separate stores. Maass' younger brother, August, operated a plumbing supply store in the western portion while the Washington Credit Clothing Company occupied the eastern half. Both businesses continued to operate until the Maass Family sold the structure to Abe Goodman in 1950. Goodman utilized the entire space to sell draperies for several decades.
