The original portion of this house was built in c. 1870 by Nathan Armstrong, who had a planing mill and owned Armstrong and Brosther, a sash, door, and blind factory. Glenn Gates, proprietor of Gates’ Cloak House (women’s clothing) and later the Director of the Anderson Banking Company, purchased the home by 1924.
