The property on which the house stands is part of John R. Blair's addition to the townsite, laid out in 1904. The lot was first acquired by Herbert F. Davis and his wife, Carolina, in 1904. In 1909, they sold the property to A. W. Mauldin and his wife for $200. A. W. Mauldin owned a restaurant in Artesia during the founding years of the town.
The Mauldins mortgaged the property for $1000 and began construction of the house.
During the same year, they leased the uncompleted dwelling to George C. Hall who agreed to complete the building "with lavatory and bath tub fully plumbed, plaster all rooms with white coat finish, complete porch, lay walks, build fence, also build rough storage building in rear not less than 10 feet wide, 8 feet high, and 16 feet deep with large door suitable for storage of an automobile.…" The garage mentioned no longer stands. In 1910, Mauldin and his wife deeded the property to Hall and his wife. Belle.
