It was built on what was once part of a 160 acres (65 ha) tract patented by Irish immigrant Thomas Cordner in 1886. After Thomas' death, his fourth son, William, was deeded the 10 acre section portion of the land having the house in 1896 or 1902.[2] It was later home of the Calders for many years.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. The listing included two contributing buildings: the house and a wash-house/cellar building behind.[1][2]
