The dwelling was built by, or for, Watrous Peck (1777-1862) in 1803. Watrous was a direct, sixth-generation descendant of William Peck (1601-1694).  

The house, circa 1820, is illustrated on the 1859 hanging map of Ontario County and was more recently one of the homes illustrated in "The Victorian Era of the United States"

"..it is an old house but we are not really sure of the date it was built.... in 1976 we remodeled and found glued to the cracks of the planks, (walls)  newspapers dated 1815.   

The actual settlement of West Bloomfield began when Peregrine Gardner came and built a house on the old Indian Trail, now 5&20 near this residence.

This large Queen Anne farm house was built in 1901. 

It was the first prefabricated building to be erected on Route 5&20.  it was purchased from the Gordon-Van Tine Company in Davenport, Iowa.

This house was built on or before 1804.  It is of bricks that were made, formed and cured in the yard.  It was built as a stage coach stop and called the Johnson's Tavern

This  was the site  of  Alvin Wilcox pottery.  The Wilcox family moved here from New England in 1781.  

A tavern once stood here and the present residence is a part of the old hotel.   Henry and Harriet Humphrey Hewitt purchased this home in the late 1890's and Carrie Hewitt was still living here at age 98.

The wooden rear part of the house was built before sawmills existed. The 2x4s were hewn out and the beams were also hewn.

The brick part of the house was built by Reverend Silas Brown in 1828 and this house remained in the Brown family for many years.
