The house at 161 Main Street in East Berlin was built in 1888 by Mary O. Bunce. Married to Thomas A. Bunce, a blacksmith, Mary Bunce was the biggest real estate developer in East Berlin in the 1880s and 1890s. The house is part of a 10-acre parcel she acquired from Levi North in 1885 and sub-divided into house lots.
