The original address and owner of this 1870 Gabled-ell is unknown. It may have been located at 434 or 436 N. Lafayette. In 1914, George Omacht moved the house to 218 W. Marion and used it as an income property. George Omacht was one of South Bend's largest cigar manufacturers between 1884 and 1916. In 1983 the house was donated to Southold Heritage Foundation, Inc. by the Scottish Rite of Free Masonry, contingent upon moving the house from 218 W. Marion. The house was moved to 716 W. Colfax; the wooden porch and steps were repaired and all new materials duplicated the original wood features.
