In 1836 Jean Asher Moses Nathan, a Dutch-Jewish immigrant, rebuilt an 1806 brick-between-posts cottage erected for free woman of color Constance Bouligny.

Nathan established his placee and two children in the unusual Greek Revival house with three dormers, eight Doric box columns supporting a deep overhang and a rusticated wood facade. The house is open by appointment and contains a bed and breakfast.
