This home sits on three lots on Trabue Street; a single block street in the heart of the Old Historic District of Punta Gorda. This short street was the only memorial to the town's founder, Isaac Trabue, until 2009 when City Council designated public lands east of the Justice Center, along the Harbor, as Trabue Park. The original abstract shows the paving, curbing and storm drainage were put into place in 1925. Fred M. and his wife, Mary Calhoun Johnson, purchased the house in 1931. They passed the house to their son Richard C. and his wife, Jutta. It remained in the Johnson family until 1980. Shortly after the first Johnson family moved in, the porch was closed in to make a bedroom and a half bath. The original floor, china closets, ceilings, baseboards and wainscoting remain throughout the interior.
