In 1851 the original portion of the house was built by Lorenzo Sherwood. Sherwood sold it to Judge Edward Tailer Austin in 1867, Austin expanded the home by having the Greek Revival wing constructed, using materials imported from Maine such as white pine and doors of mahogany and walnut. When Austin passed away in 1888, his son Valery Austin, a city commissioner became the new owner of the property Valery Austin and his wife Ida L. Smith lived in the home, but also rented out two of the rooms on the south side of the residence.
