Amos and Eliza Woodruff migrated from Massachusetts to the Flushing area about 1845 and during the next five years Amos Woodruff purchased several parcels of land on River Road, including this land in 1852 as part of an eighty-acre tract. A prosperous farmer and landowner, he contributed to the development of Flushing as one of the founders of the Flushing Cemetery Association in 1847, a township highway commissioner, and a founding elder of the Flushing Presbyterian Church in 1860. Shortly after purchasing the eighty-acre parcel in 1852, the Massachusetts-born couple built this Greek Revival house. The Woodruffs owned large tracts of property in the township and had become one of the area’s wealthiest farmers by 1850. The house retains original details including interior window surrounds and exterior pilasters, while the front porch was built in the early twentieth century and several additions were constructed later.
