In the 1880s, Lyman Woodard relocated his furniture and casket company to this area, building a large factory building and expanding both his product line and workforce. Woodard was in a competition for skilled craftsmen for his factory, and new that the housing market in Owosso was tight. To attract and retain these craftsmen, Woodard also built this multi-family housing unit next door to the factory, for new employees to use until they were able to secure their own home. Although the exact date of construction is unknown, it is similar enough to the 1885 factory building to suggest that it was constructed at nearly the same time. [2]
