<br />Liggett Lumber opened in 1925 and continued to operate into the late 1940's. in 1935, directories listed their daughter, Florence
<br />Liggett, as living with them and showed an occupation of student By 1941, it appears that Florence had moved from the residence.

<br />occupation was shown as reallor. The home on Bonnie Brae was rented and occupants were listed as `transient". in 1952, Harry
