Originally this house stood on the SW corner of North Baptist & Charles Streets. It was moved by the Foundation for the Preservation of America's Architectural Heritage (FPAAH) in 1968 and restored/rebuilt by the NRF in 1970. (See the entry for 59 Bridge Street for information on FPAAH).

The dating stems from the fact that something existed at the original location at the time of the Stiles map (1758), yet the building trim and proportion is more indicative of the second date, 1826.

There is next to no history with this building and we have, so far, not been able to find any documentary evidence for the structure or a definitive date. Very little fabric existed on the interior and the exterior did not really evidence any 18th century material or design. The doorway is Federal and was applied, from stock, by the NRF.
