The house was built around 1640 by Richard Sparrow, an English surveyor who arrived in Plymouth in 1636. [2] He was granted a 16-acre (6.5 ha) tract of land in 1636 on which he later built the house. [2] Sparrow moved to Eastham in 1653. [2] The Richard Sparrow House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
