The house was built about 1854 by the father of Thomas Eakins. It is a four-story townhouse with three stories built of brick and the fourth of wood. Thomas Eakins inherited the house in 1899. He lived there until his death in 1916. [ [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/66000679.pdf NRHP Nomination Form] ]
