It is one of few surviving vernacular gable-front houses which were common during Alberton's early development period from 1908–1917.[2]
The parcel was at one point owned by John McCarthy, a real estate agent, but the first owners of the house were E.P. and Ella Brinks. E.P. Brinks was a telegraph operator for the Milwaukee Road. Brinks happened to provide Alberton with its primary water supply, because he separately bought a water system of the Milwaukee Land Company and private springs and combined them, then sold the system to the town.[2]
