 By 1914, a few land developers saw opportunity in subdividing the farms into tracts of land for housing developments.The Arthur T. McIntosh & Co. was one of the first corporations to acquire and then subdivide property in the Village of Midlothian.A few commercial buildings began to show up such as the Woerheide Building at 147th and Kolin, home to Sam Wilson's General Store (formerly Peterman's) on the first floor and the second floor was the first home for the St. Christopher Parish in 1924.
