John Mackey built the original house here between 1796 and 1812. The price paid in an 1812 ($600) indicates a valuable structure stood on this property. The footprint of the original house appears on the 1877 map. By 1894, the property was described as a vacant lot in tax records. There is a possibility the house was moved, rather than torn-down or destroyed.
After 1909 the Charles Webster House was built on this lot and part of the lot to the north.
