It was commissioned by near-retirement American admiral John Henry Upshur for architectural design by Frederick C. Withers and was constructed by builders Langley & Gettinger in
1884.It was later divided into three apartments.The United States Daughters of 1812 organization bought the building in 1928 for $31,214.44 and has used it since. Its NRHP nomination notes some irony in the historic organization's choice of a Victorian-style residence.
