A small house on the property was built in 1826. The second story and the two-story portico were added as part of a major expansion in 1883, when it was owned by Mrs. Asa Brown. It served as a hotel from some time around 1874 to 1883, until some later date.[2]

It is also a contributing building in the McDonough Historic District. It now houses the Genealogical Society and Family Research Library.
