A Harvard graduate and lawyer who specialized in land litigations, George Huston helped found city's first bank in 1869. He owned and enlarged this antebellum house from the early brick section where Dr. Brady, Huston's father-in-law, lived. At Civil War's end, Union soldiers camped here. In 1846 President Tyler stayed here while Huston checked his land boundary.
