Mundy perhaps built this house since he was a carpenter and a contractor. Sheehan lived in the house while Mundy was still there.

Sheehan moved his store to 83 Cottage Street where it existed into the 1920s. He also had a store on Union Street. His children Edward Anna Francis Frederick Elizabeth and Helen would grow up in the house. Only Edward was not born there. Their mother Eliza would die in the house in 1885.

Dineen was a sewer installer who ran the business from the house with his son.

Rapalus ran the Majestic Theater and would have actors board with him.
