On the 1923 map, the barnyard of the Benjamin F. Robey house to the south at 416 West Pecan Street, was located at what would become 415 West Live Oak Street.  Sometime between 1923 and 1929, Benjamin F. Roby built the complex of brick buildings on the northwest part of his lot, on West Live Oak Street and on South Neches Street.

"In 1929, the High School Grocery was located at 415 West Live Oak Street.  It was owned by William C. Ratjen.  He and his wife, Lura W. also resided at this address."   (Coleman City Directory, 1929 - Hudspeth.)
