This house is a front-gabled bungalow constructed around 1920. The house was the residence of J.C. McCaleb and his family. Mr. McCaleb operated a grocery store in the McKnight Building on the west side of Water (Main) Street. J.C. McCaleb acquired the property in 1905. His first wife, Sarah, died in 1906 and Mr. McCaleb remarried in 1907. 

The house served as the McCalebs’ family home. The house features simple Queen Anne detailing but has been significantly altered over the years. Changes included the addition of a front porch next to the bay window, the removal or enclosure of a side porch and an addition made at the back of the house. These alterations resulted in the rectangular gabled roof seen today. 

This house is an officially recognized historic resource of the City of Mansfield.
