Lawson's and the Miller and Miller at 311 DeWitt to the south replaced part of the Porter building (Sanborn-Perris Map Co. 1929). A.A. Porter owned the two properties in 1942-45 (Columbia County Treasurer 1863). The Porter Building burned in 1950 and its replacement was present in 1957 (Aero Service Corporation 1957).
