According to the nomination form, the house was built by a member of the De Gray or related Geroe families. Daniel De Gray was born here in 1789. His daughter married John Snyder. Their son, William J. Snyder, was born in 1834, and lived here until his death in 1904. The house was then sold to a Philadelphia architect, Charles

Merric Gay, in 1906. He enlarged the house and developed the property into the Juglans Farm.
