Aaron Marsh, a builder since the mid-1830s who owned much property nearby, bought the lots in 1841 and built two three-story Greek Revival houses, Nos. 55 and 57, the following year. He sold No. 55 in 1842 to William Sharrock, a physician, who paid the taxes on both houses. Marsh lived next door at No. 57 for a number of years.
