David L. Lilienfeld was born in 1836 in Hanover, Germany. He arrived in Kalamazoo In 1859 and started cigar making and wholesale liquor businesses with his brother William. He became a prominent member of the Kalamazoo business community. [3] In 1867, Lilienfeld purchased a lot and small home on this site for his family.

The house was owned by a number of owners for the next few decades, until 1932 when John Donovan began leasing it for use as a funeral parlor. At some point the original square tower fronting the house was removed. It remained a funeral home until 1985, when Louis and Annette Conti purchased the home, saving it from planned demolition and carefully restoring it. They turned it into an inn and restaurant, adding a commercial kitchen in the 1990s, before having financial difficulties. The house was vacant for a time in the early 2000s, and was further restored and opened as a bed & breakfast in 2007. [4]
