From 1913 until its demolition in 1924-1925, the house was occupied by the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. The site was earlier used in 1853 by Daniel Gorham as the location for his steam sawmill. It was replatted for residential use in 1890. Visible at right is the Delta Tau Delta chapter house, 621 North Lake Street.
