Two three-story houses stood on the western part of what is now 78-84 Laight Street (also 414 Washington Street) until they were demolished in 1950. Their site became a parking lot. These were earlier buildings on the site, long before the current structure.

In 1958 two houses of two and a half stories, built in the Federal era and faced in brick, were demolished here. Their site was added to the existing parking lot, which by then had a fifty-foot frontage on Washington Street and an 82-foot frontage on Laight Street.
