The 1959 city directory is the first volume to list this address, showing H. Spurgeon Boyce, president of Boyce Supply and Buildwell Products, Inc., and his wife Neola as the owners. Boyce Supply company ran a full-page advertisement in the 1959 city directory, boasting that the company specialized in metal windows and doors. The shop was at 704 Ramseur Street; the Boyces moved from 1507 Alabama Avenue.
