The Coffey Family Papers include many receipts and bills from the early 1910s, a few of which refer to the Shepherd Building. Raleigh City Directories indicate that it stood at 120-124 Fayetteville St. Although Coffey was very active in this period, this is one of the few buildings from the 1910s that has been attributed to him in this period. Also mentioned is the Vass Building, also 1911, of which further details are not yet known.
