Peabody was also associated with the Democratic Party and was considered for the Vice President of the United States in 1912.

He stepped down as company president in favor of his son Stuyvesant in 1919 and served as chairman of the board until his death in 1922.

The house immediately to the east is thought to be formerly associated with the Peabody property, perhaps a barn or garage.

The two stories of the house are divided on the exterior with a thin line of dark tan molding.

The original house was built in 1889 and consisted of what is now the parlor, tower, front hall, and part of the kitchen, library, and dining room.
