When built\, the house was considered to be at the edge of downtown and was amongst only a handful of stately three story homes in the city. The house changed hands several times during the nineteenth century. Owners included Woodbury Langdon\, Henry and Alexander Ladd who rented the home to Senator John F. Parrott\, and Samuel Lord.\nIt’s name comes from the potential resident\, Captain John Paul Jones\, who is believed to have stayed there during the American Revolution.
