This property contributes to the heritage streetscape of Burlington Avenue, which is widely recognized as a significant component of, and asset to, downtown Burlington. The Avenue took its name from the village, whose incorporation in 1873 combined the former Wellington Square and Port Nelson. The tree-lined avenue was developed under three subdivision plans, the first of which was William Bunton’s Survey, registered in 1881.

This two-storey front gabled frame structure was built circa 1895 by A. B. Coleman, Burlington’s greatest builder and developer at the end of the nineteenth century, on a lot severed from the original Bunton family property. Its first purchaser was George Noyes, owner of the Barber Shop, on Brant Street.

The house was duplexed and rented to tenants for many years until its renovation in 1995 for single-family residential use. The fragments of Coleman’s characteristic "gingerbread" on the front gable were removed in the renovations. The original verandah, supported by the three original squared pillars with capitals and central grooves, was replaced with a wrap around verandah with a guard railing and gingerbread trim. Windows and doors were replaced and shutters were added. Although the original wooden clapboard siding was not restored, the new siding made a cosmetic improvement, which was recognized by a Heritage Award in 1997.
