The original section of the house was built by teacher and author of the first Washington County history Nathan Littler.

Businessman Jonathan Clark Conger bought the house and added major additions in 1867 that were built by John Patterson Huskins.

Conger was also responsible for adding a small den in 1906.

The two-story brick house was covered with concrete sometime in the early 20th century.
