An additional commercial building or storefront was constructed in the southern portion (14330 Fullerton Avenue) by 1940. The gasoline dispensing station operated until at least 1953. An addition was completed on the northern portion of the eastern commercial building during the 1980s. The former commercial buildings or storefronts were demolished during the 1990s and the former eastern commercial building was demolished between 2012 and 2016.
