The house was built by about 1760 by Jonathan Wheeler, who moved to the area from Stonington in 1751. His family was well-established there, and he had purchased a number of land parcels in the Canterbury area in the 1750s. The house is unusual for its central-hall plan, built at a time when central chimneys were more common, and for its use of brick in a single-story rural building. The house remained in the hands of Wheeler descendants until 1870.
