1874
Broker Edward H. Bonner rents William S. Pendleton's mansard-roofed house
William S. Pendleton probably built this Second Empire frame house around 1867, when he sold the older house at No. 97 to his son. It was standing by 1874, when the Beers atlas recorded it as a rental occupied by broker Edward H. Bonner. Edward and George Bonner were leading figures in Staten Island's educational and athletic life.

1919
Veronica Le Bourreau and Catherine Louis divide the house into apartments and rooms
Broker Francis H. Bergen bought the house in 1891, and in the 1910s the widow Mary Doody lived here with her extended family and three boarders. In 1919 Veronica Le Bourreau and Catherine Louis acquired it and split it into apartments and single rooms let to middle-class tenants, among them an assistant principal, a bond broker, an assistant at the British consulate and a mercantile salesman. A 1954-55 alteration for the multiple-dwelling code likely brought the permastone front.
