Dentist Frank E. Day, and later Cook Day, an engineer, were residents of the home from 1917 through 1924.
By 1925, Mrs. Clara Shrader was residing here, followed by John W. Shrader in 1929 through 1938.  Mr. Shrader’s occupation was listed as “carpenter” in the New Albany City Directory.
During the late 1930s through the late 1940s, J. Fred Tinius lived here. He also operated his upholstery business out of the house.
