Thomas Jones Esquire, High Sheriff of Charlotte County, bought the property from William B. Kinnean and Francis A. Kinnean in 1838 and sold it to Richard Haddock in April 1861 for 65 pounds.
In 1888, Richard Haddock conveyed the property to Sir Leonard Tilley (one of the Fathers of Confederation and then Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick) and Lady Alice Tilley for $200. Later that year, Sir Leonard Tilley conveyed the property to the St. Andrews Land Company. It is believed that the house was built about this time.
In 1909, the St. Andrews Land Company sold the property to Howard Chase, a farmer and is was subsequently occupied by Annie Chase (a spinster) into the mid-1900s. The property is sometimes called the Foster Matthews house, after Foster and Dulcie Matthews who bought it in 1957. During the 1980s it was operated as Shady Maples Bed and Breakfast.
This area of town was at one time called Cherry Hill and there are still three old but producing cherry trees in the yard.
The character-defining elements of this property include:
