This lot and the one directly west of it (358 Bourbon Street) were bought from John Donnelly (1863-1944) in 1891 by Charles Zeitler (1827-1913) of Havre de Grace and Henry W. Smith of Baltimore. They, with their wives (Mary Zeitler and Annie Smith), sold the land the following year to Mary Ellen Healy. In 1899, Mary and her husband, Stephen J. Healy, sold the two lots of land in 1899 to Lena (Hopkins) Crothers (1878-1926). Lena was the wife of Dr. Augustus C. Crothers (1863-1926) and was an architect in her own right. She had designed their home at 218 South Union Avenue.

In the late 1920s, an ownership dispute arose in the Crothers family that was resolved when court-appointed trustees sold one lot of this property in October 1928 in a private sale to Ralph C. Walker and Myra Beatrice Walker, his wife. The following month, the Walkers sold this land to Jessie M. Pierson. About six months later, after moving to Mill Hall, Pennsylvania, Jessie Pierson sold this lot to William Fletcher Way (1900-1974) and his wife, Rose Iona Way, in May 1929. William Way was born in Havre de Grace and had been living at 366 Congress Avenue when he enlisted for WWI in 1917 in the Navy. He trained aboard the USS Indiana, reported to Boston, and boarded his receiving ship USS Shawmut in January 1918. He returned to Havre de Grace after the war, is listed on the Roll of Honor at Tydings Park, and married Rose.

It is believed that after acquiring this lot of land, William and Rose Way built this home for their family around 1929. William’s parents, Ulysses G. Way (1863-1946) and his wife, Rebecca J. Way (1869-1924) lived just down the street at 311 Bourbon Street at the time. Ulysses was a member of the “Ducking Police” in Havre de Grace in 1937, having been appointed by Governor Harry Nice. William Way had a brother, Edward U. Way (1895-1980), also living in town who married Alice Wallett (1909-1985) of the international Wallett family of theatrical stage and circus performers. William and Rose Way raised three daughters in this house until they sold it 1951 to Russell E. Campbell (1923-1981) and his wife, Mary, whom he married in 1944. Russell served in WWII in the U.S. Navy at the Aberdeen Proving Ground. The Campbells sold this home it in 1957 to Otto R. Freed (1900-1961) and Ida B. Freed, his wife.

It is not known whether the Freeds lived here or if it was an investment property for them—they owned other properties in town (see 312 St. John Street). The Freeds were best known for owning and selling the Havre de Grace Print & Publishing Company and the Lafayette Hotel property (501 St. John Street) in 1947 to the Joseph L. Davis Post No. 47 American Legion of Havre de Grace. Otto predeceased his wife, Ida, who died in 1967 and left this and other property to their two sons, Felix Freed and Gerald Freed.

In 1978, the Freed brothers sold this property to Carl Rine Bissett who, just three days later, sold it to John W. Moult and Carol A. Moult (1943-2017), his wife. One year later, the property was sold by substitute trustees to Western Pacific Financial Corporation. William M. Meiser and his wife, Margie E. Meiser, became new owners in 1981 and lived here for about 14 years. The home passed to Don W. Williams and Laurel P. Jones in 1996 and three years later to Susan Theresa Schmidt. The latter sold the property to Deborah Lee Koskinen Chapman in 2005, who remains the owner. This appears to be an investment property because Harford County records show that this is not her principal residence.
