"In 1868 and 1869 Sherman David Phelps, a banker and businessman, bought three adjoining properties along Court Street. The three existing houses were torn down so that construction could begin on a new home. The initial cost for the mansion was projected at $70,000. Local architect Isaac Gale Perry was hired to design the new home, and John Stewart Wells was hired as the primary contractor for the project. Wells owned a local brick manufacturing plant. Wells’ construction was completed in 1871 at an estimated cost of $119,000."
