The house was occupied by Mrs. John L. Collins from 6/18/1910-6/1/1911. Mrs. Collins owned the house at least through 11/29/1916, but it had various tenants after 1911. Source: T. B. Society.
It was later the home of Selenia Grace Sampson, widow of Dr. Homer L. Sampson, where she may have lived with her daughter, Mary MacIntyre.
This house was radically changed by the removal of the second floor and half-story with dormers and rebuilt roof (compare with historic photo); whether or not these were repairs after a fire is not known. Source: Mrs. Mary E. MacIntyre, Building-Structure Inventory Form, 11/5/1982.
