The house stood on land once belonging to Massachusetts judge Samuel Sewall (best known for his participation in the Salem witch trials).

The house may have been constructed by Sewall's instructions for a tenant farmer.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, and was delisted in 2025.

The house no longer stands at the location described in the listing papers, and has probably been demolished.
