The 2 properties closest to 20th St, 1910-12 Walnut, were demolished c. 1959 to make way for the parking lot, which then doubled in size by the early or mid-1960s after a 5-alarm fire in December 1961 destroyed a 4-story furniture store at 1908 Walnut and heavily damaged a 4-family apartment building at 1906 Walnut.
