It was built in 1872 for local Judge William Eddy Fuller and designed by local architect E.C. Chandler. It is a 2+1⁄2-story central hall plan Italianate style house with spacious proportions and disciplined ornament. The house later passed to Fuller's daughter who married Henry Dauphin. It remained in the Dauphin family until 1978.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. At the time, the property was one of the last large undivided estates in the city. However, the rear of the site has since been split off with an apartment complex added. The main house has been converted into offices.
