Originally built by John C. Lewis in 1883. Previous owners' (Paige 'Crosland' & Charles Polk) great grandfather bought it in 1907 as a wedding present for her grandfather and grandmother, Cecil and Emily Crosland. Cecil's and Emily's sons, Robert, a general contractor and architect and his brother William collaborated to show the public an example of their architectural expertise and drum up business so in 1959 the house was given a facelift by them. The original facade was frame with balustrades of upper and lower porches decorated with scroll work.
