The 1+1⁄2-story Cape style house was built sometime in the 18th century, possibly as early as 1700.

By 1905, the house had deteriorated and a portion was demolished.

In 1929, Harvey and Lydia Perry hired the architect and preservationist Norman Isham to restore the remaining structure and reconstruct the original south end.

[2] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 4, 2005.
