The project list with dates provided with Edward F. Sibbert’s correspondence cites the Durham building as 1929. However, Claudia P. Roberts (Brown) and Diane E. Lea, The Durham Architectural and Historic Inventory (1982), dates its construction as 1932-1933 and states that it was built just a few doors from an earlier building originally occupied by the Kress company. The 1932-1933 date appears to be more accurate.
