The first person to own this
house was a farmer named Skinner Coomes. His daughter married
a farmer named Pease, and the house has since been referred to
as the Old Pease House. Pease owned all of the land down Longfellow
Drive. Sometime after it was built the Pease house was lifted
up and rooms were built on what is now the first floor. The house
used to have a porch extending across the whole front. When the
porch was removed, the railing was reused at the house three
doors away from this one.
