Bird, went on to become a prominent wine importer in New York City. The Bird family initially owned six lots around this property. While the architect's identity isn't confirmed, there's a good possibility it was Ebenizer Roberts. The earliest newspaper mentions of residents in the house date back to 1870, and it showcases Italianate architectural style.
