Reverend Tracy, who came to Biddeford from Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1823 after serving the second Congregational Church and later as pastor of the Second Parish Congregational Church of Saco, built this large late Federal style house in 1826. It was the first brick house built in Biddeford and stood at the corner of Barren Lane, presently Stone Street, on the summit of Ram-Cat Hill. The Saco Water Power Co. later purchased the house and used it as a home for superintendents of the Pepperell Mills. As other large Federal homes were demolished to make room for the mills, the lot of this house was reduced when Ram-Cat Hill was blasted away to build Lincoln Street Pepperell Mill number 3 and the northern portions of Main Street. At one time, the building also housed the Sancoucy Funeral Parlor.
