This American Foursquare style house was built on the west portion of Lot 2, Block I, Markham Village Plan 18. Lot 2, a one half acre property, was first divided in 1859, when Henry Bull, a local carpenter-joiner, sold the eastern third of his property to Thomas White, a blacksmith. Bull sold his own house and property four years later. In 1906, the west half of Lot 2 was purchased by Annie Cross. In 1909, Cross sold the western portion of the property at the corner of Church and Franklin Street to Maurice Selby. The $150 price suggests that it was a vacant parcel. Selby took out a mortgage on the property in 1913, probably to finance the construction of a house. The architecture of the Selby House supports a 1910s period of construction.
