As seen by the original tract maps, these lots were equally divided...132 feet wide and 307 long.  Tax records show that John J. Renaker owned owned only the north half (70ft)  from 1888 until 1906 when, first the first time, the southern part of the lot is shown to be long to Renaker's estate.  Ownership of the entire lot is then transferred to his widow, Elizabeth.  The Renaker family had built a house on the north part of the lot in 1887, but nothing appears on the south section up to 1916 which is far as Monrovia's tax information (the original tax records) go.

Early information on this property after this is very scarce.   There are no permits until 1934, but it is believed to have been built around 1924 as that is the first time it appears in a Monrovia directory.  It ceases to appear in the directories after 1928; however, the 1934 permit for roof repair shows the owner to be C.T. Archer.  There is no demolition permit for the structure.

As seen in the 1927 Sanborn fire insurance map, the structure was extremely small.  As previously stated, there is no demolition permit for the dwelling, but the apartments that replaced it and the Renaker house were built in 1962, according the Los Angeles County Tax Assessor.
