When the old Pendleton land on St. Marks Place was cut into building lots in 1890, schoolteacher Alexander J. Driscoll of Richmond Terrace bought this parcel. He built the shingled Queen Anne house, with its two-story porch on massive turned posts and its wide angled bay under a conical-roofed dormer, and sold it in 1891 to Kate Dunning, who shared it with her brother Edward Foster, a securities broker, into the early 1900s.
“Driscoll erected this house which he sold to Kate Dunning in 1891.”

1910
Paint manufacturer Francis Perry buys the house and stays for decades
Around 1910 paint manufacturer Francis Perry acquired the house, and his family lived in it through at least the 1940s. In 1941 Perry built a garage with living quarters upstairs at 106 Carroll Place, at the back of the lot; it now sits on its own tax lot.
“Around 1910 the property was acquired by Francis Perry, a paint manufacturer, who occupied the house with his family through at least the 1940s.”
