The following is from the Historic Buildings Inventory as revised in 1986:
This two–story Colonial Revival house is a restrained design whose formal symmetry and Doric porch columns comprise its stylistic image.
The earliest occupants were Mr. and Mrs. C. Graham; Graham was in the oil business. Professors Austin F. Rogers (1911–1919) and Harold Heath (1919–1921) next occupied it. Rogers was a significant geologist and Heath a zoologist of international repute.
John W. Spratley, a salesman, and his wife, May, made it their home from 1921 to 1955. Short–term occupants followed until 1978 when it was acquired by Arthur and June Holland.
