Constructed c. 1904, this one-and-one-half-story Victorian house is a type known as a central block with projecting bay.

From 1930-1942 the house was vacant or used as apartments: In 1942 it was purchased by Zina and Charles Pearce. Ruby and Alma Johnson acquired the house in 1952. Deborah and Robert Young purchased the house in 1994 and completed an award-winning restoration in 2001.
