Christopher Storb in his blog, In Proportion to the Trouble, has provided a final look at this location that was researched by chapter members Jane Mork Gibson and John Bowie. Their partial report is linked in Storb’s page as Historical Background by Jane Mork Gibson. It shows the amount of research professional historians and architects do to document a site.

Storb’s links also record a number of individuals and organizations that promoted the preservation of the shop as a continuing source of study and education.
