Designed by architect Albert E. Colcord of Chicago, William and Mary Vincent built this Craftsman Style home for their daughter Margaret as a wedding gift for her marriage to Ray Wolters. Mary Vincent had purchased the lot in 1882 for $600.

It has been called the best example of Craftsman Style in this neighborhood.
