The Gothic Revival house was built by Henry Clay Peak (1832-1913), a Confederate Civil War veteran and pharmaceutical salesman. He, his wife Calederica, and their three children lived there until 1881. It then was owned by the Turpin-Chambers-Cockran family, whose descendants deeded it to the Warsaw Women's Club in 1961. That organization leased the house to the City of Warsaw for use as a community meeting space and welcome center in 2005. It has since reverted to a private residence.
