George Huston, a Harvard graduate and lawyer who specialized in land litigations, helped found the city's first bank in 1869. He owned and enlarged this antebellum house from the early brick section where Dr. Brady, Huston's father-in-law, lived. At the Civil War's end, Union soldiers camped here. In 1846 President Tyler stayed here while Huston checked his land boundary.
