The home was completed around 1900 for Edward A. Bankes, a Northern Ireland-born businessman who was a successful tea and coffee merchant and also a real estate developer. The home was designed by Henry Worthman, an architect best known for designing churches, including several within a few blocks of this home. The house was originally designed as a single-family home, but at some point in the 1930s it was converted into three apartments. Based on online sources, the home appears to still be a multi-family complex; it sold most recently in 2022 for $1.975 million.
