This frame Italianate style house was built in 1865 for the McLagan family. In 1879 the house was purchased by Charles Black who published a local newspaper. From 1972 until 1992 the house was owned by Kirkwood Historical Society and was used as a museum and was called History House. In 1992 the house returned to being a private residence.
