This house was built by early settler John Craw before 1817. In 1835, John M. Robinson purchased it; he served as a U.S. Senator from 1831 to 1843 and as an Illinois Supreme Court Justice in 1843. The house was later occupied by his daughter Mrs. Robert Stewart and his granddaughter Miss Mary Jane Stewart.
