This structure remains largely unchanged for the last century, but changes did occur relatively early in the history of this structure.  The building appears as a two-story gable front 2 bay wide house facing west near the corner of Manhattan Drive in 1877 [1] .  By 1890, the structure had received its ell-wing and the side porch both on the south facade of the structure.

            The first occupant of the structure was Michael Sullivan [2] an employee of Shepard, Davis and Company, along with Thomas Sullivan an employee of Bronsons, Weston, Greene & Company. In 1890, the property was owned by Mrs. M. Sullivan [3] and later by Lawrence Sullivan, who was possibly her son.  The Sullivan Family occupied this house continuously well past the 1930s [4] .  The property has not been lived in by another family for a longer period of time than the Sullivan's since.
