There is little known about William Anderson's early life, save that he likely came from Orange County, New York and settled in Michigan in about 1832. In 1833 he purchased two tracts of land, one of which is where this house now stands. Anderson served as Washtenaw County's first sheriff from 1835 to 1839. In about 1853 he constructed this house. In 1858, Anderson deeded the house and surrounding farm to his son, William E. Anderson. Anderson owned the house until his death in 1873, after which the house passed to his wife and then his children. In 1932, the house was foreclosed on and passed out of the Anderson family. [2]
In 1937, Dr. Inez R. Wisdom purchased the house for use as a residence and medical office. In 1952 she gave a portion of the property to St. Clare of Assisi Episcopal Church to construct a new church building. The house was given to the church some time after Wisdom's death. [2]
