History
The building was built in 1876 as a narrow two-story wood frame single family dwelling rental house located at 1624 Post Street in San Francisco (what is now the central area of Japantown). It was initially built and owned by the Gantzer family who lived at 417 Kearny Street. It was later used as a commercial store.

During the 1960s though 1980s, the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency moved a handful of Victorian homes within the Nihonmachi (the older name for the historical Japanese community in San Francisco) in order to form the new Japantown as well as the Japan Center Mall and Geary Street underpass, and this was one of those buildings. It moved to its current location on Sutter Street in 1973.
