The house was built sometime between 1720 and 1740, and is believed to be the oldest house in East Longmeadow. It retains original wide pine floors and fireplaces, and includes a secret passage that may have been used to shelter escaping slaves as part of the Underground Railroad.[2] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1]
