He likely began construction on this house in 1841, finishing it in time for his daughter's wedding in 1842 to George S. Wright, a businessman and banker who had arrived in Marshall in 1835.

In 1849, the Pratts moved on to Niles, Michigan, where Daniel died ten years later.

The house remained in the Wright family until 1934, when it was purchased by preservationist Harold C. Brooks.

It sits on a sandstone foundation, and a clapboard addition is constructed at the rear.

The entrance is flanked by high porch windows, which extend almost to the floor.
