- Built in August 1912, the original insurance record from October 9, 1912, mentions that the house needed "10 days to complete".
- Emma Harris, the widow of Charles A. Harris, built the house as a rental property. She also owned 1728 Winnie, located on the south side of the lot.
- Ruth Harris, Emma’s daughter, inherited the house after her mother’s passing in 1937.
- Ruth later married George F. Dean, a building contractor. They owned the house until 1988, when Abe Kellner purchased it. His descendants still own it to this day.
