The builder, H. L. Upham, sold the cottage to Mrs. J. W. Kelly, a widow, in 1902 for $1,500. Her daughter, Alice, was deputy postmaster for Palo Alto from 1892 to 1906, when she relinquished her postal career to become a serious student of photography. The house next door at 944 Bryant was built as a photography studio for Alice who had an active business until 1940. The Kelly family owned the cottage until 1961.
The house was on the 2006 Holiday House Tour (read more).
