This property was sold by Hollis Courtney (1798-1886) in 1843 to Elizabeth J. Peters, who later was known as Elizabeth J. Mattingley. The home here (or a previous one on this lot) may have been built by Elizabeth Mattingley and her husband between 1843 and 1919. In 1919, the widowed Mattingley owned this and was living here with her family and deeded it to Joseph C. and Elizabeth M. Parker (the latter being her daughter, born in 1854), and reserving a life estate for Hollis Courtney Mattingley (her son, born in 1858).

Charles H. Parker is listed on the Students’ Army Training Corps section of the WWI Roll of Honor in Tydings Park. Born in 1900 in Havre de Grace he registered with this address in October 1918 when he was inducted as a Private into the SATC at Delaware College. He received an honorable discharge on December 13, 1918. He then lived at this home with his parents, Joseph and Elizabeth Parker, until 1929.

In 1929, Hollis Mattingley, with Joseph and Elizabeth Parker, mortgaged the home to the New Home Building & Loan Association. Like others during the Depression years, they lost the home to the mortgage assignee, Michael W. Fahey (1897-1947).

In 1941, Michael Fahey sold this neo-classical brick home to Dr. Addison Leroy Lewis (1888-1985) and his wife Edith E. Lewis. This became their home as well as the doctor’s medical office. They had three children including Addison Leroy “Pete” Lewis, Jr. (1919-1977) and Evelyn R. Ward. The senior Dr. Lewis was a local physician and a Head of Staff at Harford Memorial Hospital, who practiced family medicine until he was in his nineties. And he always had an unlit cigar stub in his mouth. His wife, Edith Lewis, had been a nurse. The property remained in the Lewis and Evelyn R. Ward families until 1991. From 1992 to 2017 this home was owned by Wilbur S. Ervin; then Jude and Cynthia Height; then Cynthia Height; and in 2017 she sold it to Aeron Alberti. He has made renovations that revitalized the home for his family on historic Union Avenue.
