History

The building was originally constructed in the 1820s by John C. Harris. In 1850 George W. Griggs, an early settler, purchased the property and undertook the first major renovation. The second renovation occurred when the property was owned by William Blackwell during the time 1871-1873. After 1910 the house was stuccoed. In the 1900s the house was converted into a residence for the elderly, operated by the Independent Order of Oddfellows.
