From 1896 to 1929, this was the home of Henry D. Clayton, Jr. (1857-1929), author of the Clayton Anti-Trust Act (1914), which was designed to enumerate and outlaw a number of unfair trade practices and interlocking arrangements that had been the chief tools of monopolists.

In 1914, Clayton was appointed a Federal District Judge, where he became recognized as an advocate of judicial reform.
