Very little information about Mr. Stevenson and his wife Julia has been uncovered, although according to the Hickory city directories he was associated with a dry goods store which sold shoes and other items at least until 1931. The property was apparently inherited or purchased by E.M. Stevenson in the 1930s, but he defaulted on a deed of trust in 1936. Sold in 1940 to A.S. Lutz it was in turn deeded to M.S. and Dorothy Millikin in 1948 and to Robert G. Walker in 1951.
