Holliday, a widow with six children, purchased the house in1898 and added the second floor in 1906. The residence was later occupied by her daughter, Margaret (d. 1921), a local physician. Margaret and her husband Dr. Simon J. Clark renovated the house about 1920. They added an elaborate entryway on the north side and stuccoed the exterior wall.
