The home was built by Thomas Burt in 1820. The smaller, back portion of the house was the original dwelling, with the larger, statelier part of the home, added around 1840. The original owner, Henry F. Penfield, Esquire, practiced from a brick office that existed to the front of the property, where the larger part of the home sits today. A fruit farm consisting of 14 acres were part of the original property.
