Photograph article dated January 3, 1956 partially reads, "Latest set for the chopping block and possible oblivion is the two and one-half story gingerbread type one-time residence, now leased as a mortuary, at the corner of Glenoaks boulevard and Maclay avenue. The all-white structure built in the eighties as a part of the Maclay College of Theology by Senator Frank Maclay, founder of the City of San Fernando, has been optioned to a major oil company for development." A sign at front of the building shows it to be the Noble Chapel Mortuary.
