This residence was originally a small, one-story house. Additions have been made at various times; the first alteration extended the house into a U-shaped configuration, while a subsequent addition filled it in, forming a rectangle. In 1990, it underwent extensive modifications. A second story was added over the original house, essentially doubling the size of the building. The house was reoriented so that the main entrance is now on the north, at the second floor level. The interior was renovated, the entire exterior was re-sided and new windows were installed throughout.
The original house at this site was probably built around 1912. Floyd and Gladys Andrews bought the property in June 1926, and the house burned to the ground on Thanksgiving Day of that same year. Instead of rebuilding on the same lot, the Andrews had Ralph and Walter Westervelt build them a "redi-cut" house at 304 Forest Home Drive. The Westervelts then built the present house at 115 Halcyon Hill as a home for Walter and Georgiana Westervelt.
