It was built for Dr. Paul Hamilton Wilkins. Wilkins formerly lived in Liberty County, Georgia. His young son died, and with his wife in great distress he decided that the family should go back to visit Philadelphia. They sailed from Savannah on the SS Pulaski, which sank in a hurricane off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, in June 1838. Most of the passengers drowned, including the Wilkins family of three.[3]
In the mid-19th century, the property was owned by Hugh Cullens. It is believed it was part of his Seaman's Boarding House at 3–5 Habersham Street.[4]
