The Colonial Revival house was constructed in 1810, before being renovated in 1876, and again in 1910. It passed from the family of Isaac Peirce to his nephew Pierce Shoemaker, who expanded the house in 1876. Mrs. Clara Newman reportedly remodeled in 1910.[2]

It is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
