Charles Crain and family owned the house from 1880-1894 and he was an insurance professional. In 1880 the entry was off to the side. The house was owned by Thomas Claflin and family from 1899-1920 and he was an entrepreneur and owned a commercial laundry. The house was skillfully remodeled from 1903-1904. The foundation does show signs of what additions were added. Henry Betts was the architect for the remodel. The rear of the house has a simple extension that was added in 1903/1904. The third owner was Anson Eldred and family from 1917-1947 and he was a tool manufacturer who ran Milwaukee Press and Machine.
