The Thomas Earl House was built as a single-family home located at 415 North Main Street in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Thomas Earl was born in Ireland in 1810, emigrated to Canada in 1829, and finally arrived in the Ann Arbor area in 1833.
He purchased 200 acres of land and began farming, and married Mary Ann Duncan, the sister of a neighbor, in 1834.
In 1849 the Earls moved to Ann Arbor and entered the grocery business, living above the store on Main Street.
The facade has distinctive and varied Greek Revival details, with deep cornice returns and an entry with rectangular transom and sidelights.
