This simple, four-room dwelling on Mast Lane was built sometime between 1794 and 1803. Thales G. Yeaton, who also built the western half of the Winn-Yeaton connected houses, probably built this house as an investment for use as rental property. There always was a need for this kind of functionally plain housing by craftsmen, seamen, laborers, and others who worked in the area. After 1850 it was occupied by Michael Walsh, a sawyer. It remained in the Walsh family into the twentieth century.
