[owners] Shedd - Erwin - Douglas - Clowney - Kilgore - [United States Rubber Company]
...The building was erected in 1861 by James N. Shedd, to be his private residence... Captain Shedd died about the time the house was completed. At the close of the war his estate was heavily encumbered, and by 1869 his widow had to sacrifice most of her property, her new home included. The house was sold at public auction and was bought by Thomas W. Erwin, the highest bidder at the sale, for only $3,000.oo.
He held it for less than a year and sold it to S.B. Clowney, a county official, for $6,500.oo. Clowney occupied the place until 1878, at which time he moved to Texas and sold his house to Alexander S. Douglas....
