A four-story building replaces a shop and stables at 703 East 6th Street
Around 1855 owner Jesse J. Davis puts up a new building at 703 East 6th Street where a shop and stables had stood. An 1856 map labels it a "Piano Action Factory", though the 1858 tax record describes it as a house four stories tall.

Owner Joseph Roth strips dumbwaiters and doors from the building
In 1965 owner Joseph Roth alters 703 East 6th Street, removing its dumbwaiters, doors and bulkhead. No building permits turn up before that year, so the current front facade, which likely dates to the 1920s or 1930s, has no recorded date.
