In July 1925, Harry Riddell began construction of a home on the northeast corner of Main and Grand. The first item of business was a curved retaining wall. Instead of hiring a contractor, Riddell used day laborers to construct the house in various phases.

In August 1938 Steve and Helen Sargent, proprietors of the Grand Cafe purchased the Riddell home. After some minor remodeling the family moved in on September 1, 1938. The home still remains in the Sargent family.
