The house was constructed by Charles Lelong. According to the U.S. Census, he was a railway conductor. He continued to own the property until 1920; however, he also owned the property at 616 N. Almont Drive and began to reside there at an unknown date. The property was owned by William Locer from 1921 to 1946. He was a driver for an oil company. No information was found indicating that either of these men were historic personages. Around 1950 a sheet metal shop was constructed at the rear of the property.
