The original footprint is a simple rectangle. By 1890, a one-story addition was constructed to the southeast elevation and rear. The 1900 Sanborn Map showed a porch addition to the southeast, which serves now as the entrance. The footprint has remained constant for the past century.
The 1869 Beers Atlas Map of Burlington names W.R. Vilas as the owner, however, there is no information available. The next tenant was Mrs. P. Alix, a dressmaker who worked out of her home, and her husband Paul[1]. The Alix family stayed in the house until sometime after 1910, when Napoleon Lemieux took up residency.
The
house was split up into three apartments by 1930. Napoleon Lemieux (a retired carpenter) Edward Fleming and
George Seymore(a fireman.) Various
tenants resided in the house[2].
