The house was built in 1663 by Thomas Whitlock, who came to the North America in 1641, first living in Brooklyn.

The house operated as a tavern during the Revolutionary War, which was frequented by British troops. It is said that when the soldiers spoke of strategic plans of attack, the tavern owner and the innkeepers overheard these conversations and would relay the messages to the Colonial troops, thus creating the nickname "Spy House".

The Spy House Museum, which conducted candlelit ghost tours is said to be one of the most haunted house in America that once boasted 22 active ghosts in the early-1990s to five different spirits haunting it when it closed to the public.
