On May 4, 1920, Standard Oil purchased the property on the corner of West Fifth Avenue and Cambridge Boulevard, and Marble Cliff then had the first "filling station" in the area. The Sohio Station remained for 54 years. The property also housed Tompkins Ice Cream, operated by Gary and Freda Russell in the 1930s. Barbara B. Lach purchased the property in 1986 and opened a lunch shop that operated for several years. Several businesses occupied the building since then and were followed by the return to a food establishment in 2009. The Cambridge Tea House is an establishment originally owned by Mary Boesch and advertised as a special place for breakfast, lunch, or afternoon tea.
