The best thing to do to understand the reduction would be to go down to DBS and pull their permit history. The City Assessor's website says the wedding chapel is 1895 and its neighbor the-former-Goodwill as 1899, so, original buildings.

Until you have all the details, here's a little something --

1958:

1965:
