This home was probably constructed around 1900 by/for a member of the Lobb family, following the subdivision of Part Section 17 of the Westown Subdivision. However, it is unclear which member of the Lobb family owned this section immediately following subdivision.
In late 1921 the property was purchased by Jonathan Hammond Parker, who retained ownership until at least 1926, when the property title was issued under The Land Transfer Act.
