In 1797, Catherine Ackerman purchased 77 acres (31 hectares) of land to build a house for her son Abraham P. Ackerman. The one-and-a-half-story house was completed by 1802. A kitchen wing was added later. Their son, William Ackerman, lived here in 1861 and added the frame wing behind the kitchen. His son, Abraham W. Ackerman, built the mansard roof around 1875–1876.
