History

The house was originally built by Isaac Wormser (1822–1895), an importer and jobber of liquor. [4] [5]

In 1895, the house was sold to John C. Coleman, a businessman and politician. [2] The property is on two lots that were merged by Coleman in order to create a spacious yard. [6] Coleman also expanded the house. [2]
