A one-story commercial building is built at 238 Lafayette Street on the old rear yards of two Spring Street lots
In 1907 architect J. W. Clark designed a one-story brick, metal and glass commercial building here for owner John W. Aitkin, a type the city's records call a taxpayer. The small lot had once been the back yards of 65 and 67 Spring Street, before Lafayette Street was widened in 1897.
