The house was built in 1781 by Hezekiah Lewis, a local farmer. The use of brick as a domestic building material was at the time relatively uncommon in Connecticut, making this one of the older of such houses in the state. Lewis was not at the time particularly wealthy, but by his death in 1805 owned a fulling mill. The property is also historically significant for its purchase in 1905 by Michael Zukowski, an immigrant from eastern Europe who was part of a wave of immigration that revitalized the community's agriculture.
