The house, which the Portland Chronicle reported on in March, was one of two on the north side of the block that were demolished this year. It was built in 1905, while the other, demolished in February, was built in 1904.

Eliot neighborhood residents attempted to save the houses, with the city accepting a delay request on the blue house but not the 1904 red house, a reader has told the Portland Chronicle. However, the neighbors were unable to get in contact with the former owners, William Reed and Lydia Lundberg operating under a business name of Reedberg Holding LLC.
The property sold in January 2015 to Cook Street Lofts LLC for $1,507,500.

Inouye also makes up half ofYoshio Mckennon LLC, registered at the same Burnside address.
