It was later purchased by the Peck family and it became locally known as "Peck's Corner". It is currently home to Wilder & Davis Luthiers - fine violin makers.
Built in 1907, it pre-dates the construction of Buffalo Street. It is influenced by the Folk Design aesthetic with elements, such as vertical corner posts, that are characteristic of the Rocky Mountain Region.
