These large stone buildings are the only surviving properties on Water Street that were once warehouses that were important along Prescott's waterfront during the forwarding trade. 

Built in 1840 and 1844 when the forwarding trade was at its height and have retained their essential character despite alterations that have been made over the years.

This property has been associated with commercial enterprises that were important to Prescott, including the Life Saver Company in the 1920's and the Gold Glove Company during the second World War.
