He also had a dozen showcase bungalows built in 1910. Percival and Porter offered 27 newly built houses for sale during the first half of June 1910, although records indicate only ten were built.

He purchased the lots from the United Investment Company and several realtors. These lots were also in the northern part of the plat, right below Pharmers’.
