City directories and deeds show that Clinton and Annie Toms moved from Hermitage Circle in Forest Hills to this house between 1928 and 1931; Toms was the president of the Venable Tobacco Company.

Neighborhood oral history identifies this at the C. T. Council Jr. House. The 1947 city directory shows C. T. Council Jr., the plant manager of his father’s BC Remedy Company, living on Dover Road in Hope Valley. He and his wife Madeline apparently moved from W. Club Boulevard, near Watts Hospital, sometime after 1944. His father lived next door around the same time.
