The front, gambrel-roofed portion of this house, was probably built in the mid-1790s, and the house as a whole reflects a vernacular Georgian-Federal style.

The house is noted for a succession of working-class owners (of which Samuel Parker, a cooper, was one).

Its most notable resident was Carrie Belle Kenney, one of the earliest female graduates of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

[2] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
