The house was built in 1893 for Henry G. Brownell by local contractor-builder L.M. Witherell, and was one of the city's finest examples of high-style Colonial Revival architecture, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 for its architecture. It most recently served as an Elks Lodge until early 2014, when it was sold to Arista Development. The house was demolished on March 18, 2014, and a Walgreens pharmacy has since been built on the site.
