Rev. John McMillan purchased this lot in 1796, when the original part of the house was constructed. Rev. John Watson, first president of Jefferson College and son-in-law of Rev. McMillan, died in this house in 1802. John Roberts bought the house and operated a store in it until 1815. The house then had many owners until Rev. Matthew Brown, president of Jefferson College, purchased it in 1840 and deeded it to the college. It is the only remaining structure of Jefferson College.
