History and description

The two and one-half story brick house features Federal architecture. Jeremiah Buck owned a grist mill, saw mill, and cotton and woolen factory near East Lake. Dr. William Elmer, son of Jonathan Elmer, purchased the house in 1820. His son, Jonathan Elmer, lived here next. According to the nomination form, the house is the "premier extant example of Federal architecture" in the city.
