In 1951, the residence was home to Robert H. Carruthers, which means that Helen had likely moved by that time. In 1957, Harold Darnell lived there. In 1980, Ewen Cameron, who originally resided at 311 Davis Road, purchased the home for $59,000, and he sold the home to Geoffrey Aguirre and Isolde Baylor for $265,000. The house sold again in 2011 for $410,000.
