The block was built by Levi Wilson at a somewhat later period in the early 1830s, and the east end was occupied by Boss Wilson, who in 1848 built the Wilson House. In 1851, it was sold to the Talbot Brothers. Family tradition says that Gov. Thomas Talbot lived here with his second wife in 1855 as their home.
As the last surviving structure built by the Proprietors of the Middlesex Canal, it was destroyed by fire in 1984.
