Joseph Buck built the 2-story structure in 1875. D'Arcy and Mary Webster purchased the property in 1956. Mary Webster lived there until 1966. At some point in the late 1960s or in the 1970s, the structure was torn down. Choptank Distributing Company bought the property in 1973. For many years, a distributing company operation was located at this site in a newer cinder block building at the rear of the property. Royal Lawns purchased the property in 2005 and now runs a landscaping business from this location.
