Jonathan Hill died in 1795. Prior to his death, in 1785, he had sold a large tract of land to two of his sons, Job and Josiah west of Concord Road. They subdivided the land with Job getting the section north of Mill Brook and Josiah getting the section south of it. Job was married in 1790, and it's likely he built this house around that time.
After Job Hill, it was owned by Thomas E. Perrin and was known in some deeds as the "Perrin Place".
Colonel Fowler was the next owner, and left to Charlotte Fowler after his death. On November 29, 1925, the house burned to the ground. The foundation is still visible in the front yard of the new location of the James Gorham House.
