James Benton Van Nuys (1883-1962), son of farmer, banker and real estate developer Isaac Newton Van Nuys (1836-1918), owned this three-story building built just before 1918. In 05/1918, the Morris Plan Bank occupied most of the ground floor of the building, while the Yasman and Erbe Manufacturing Company of Rochester, NY, leased a 6,200-square-foot store room in the basement. Barker Brothers operated its furniture store on the top two floors of the Morris Plan Building. (See "Leases New Space in Bank Block," Los Angeles Times, 05/05/1918, part V, p. 1.)
