The house was built c. 1806, probably by Vini Goodell who also built the Benjamin Bosworth House, for John Newton Sumner. It is a well-preserved local example of a rural Federal period residence, augmented by a modest collection of Colonial Revival outbuildings. The property was the centerpiece of a typically larger farm property that was one of the town's most successful. One late 19th-century owner, David Carpenter, was active in civic affairs, serving as town selectman and in the state legislature. The house underwent a historically sensitive restoration in the 1970s
