Laura I. Foley purchased this lot, along with the neighboring one, from Alice Genung and her husband in March 1900 for $1000. Mrs. Foley had this house built immediately, along with the brick shotgun house at 1918 East Elm.  She used the property for investment purposes. 

Over the next 80 years, this structure saw several different owners and numerous tenants until Louis and Michelle Hess took occupancy of the structure in the early 1980s.  They would eventually purchase the property in April 1986.  The Hesses were the first owner-occupants of the home, living here for almost 20 years. Mr. Hess was an employee of Bluegrass Chemical.
