Local developers Whitcomb and Keller built this house in 1920 as a rental. It was rented that year to Waldo G. and Ina Gernandt. Waldo Gernandt was president and manager of the Gernandt Motor Corporation. They purchased the property in 1922 and sold it in 1925 to Arthur and Allene Simon. In 1924, Arthur and his brother Philip opened a branch of their father's produce business, Simon Brothers, in South Bend.
