1903
German-born doctor John Weber's family buys No. 1058
The family of John Weber, a doctor born in Germany, bought No. 1058 in 1903. Two years later the census recorded Weber living here alongside his wife, a sister-in-law and a servant, every one of them a German immigrant. They rented the second apartment to Elizabeth Elstner, a widow also born in Germany, who lived by herself.

1958
No. 1058 goes from three families to seven apartments
By 1958 No. 1058 had already been adapted for three families, and that year it was converted again into seven apartments, according to records cited in the 1994 Clay Avenue Historic District report. The commission noted that conversions like this one began on the block in the early 1940s and that the surviving permit records are probably incomplete.
