History

It was the home of Samuel Burrows and Harriet America Shekell. They were married in 1849. In 1857, they purchased property along River Road where they rebuilt the existing house. Mrs. Burrows met President Abraham Lincoln, when he came to review the troops at Fort Bayard. It was originally located near the corner of 45th Street, and Ellicott Street. It was moved in 1924.[3] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.
