Franklin family (of Franklin Co. Furniture), new suburban housing tracts around the edges of Syracuse in the late 1920s, most of the houses in the Dewittshire development, located on both sides of Jamesville Road just south of East Genesee Street in Dewitt, the Dunbar Center at 950 South Townsend Street (built in 1940 and demolished in 1964), Giminski's Furniture Store at 1411 West Genesee Street (as of 2015, home of the Syracuse New Times), and a household electrical appliance store for John D. Wilson, owner of the Wilson Building (where Yates had his office) and Wilson's Leading Jewelers, Inc.
