As with all the lots along nearby streets, the recorded history of this property dates back to Fielding and Betty Washington Lewis, who owned and subdivided much of the land around Kenmore that became the nearby neighborhoods.

According to records and maps researched in 1996 by Margaret D. Lynn for the Historic Fredericksburg Foundation's marker program, there had apparently been a structure at 1111 Prince Edward continuously since 1805.

In 1914, G. Frank Timberlake bought the property and had the existing structure moved to another site. That cleared that way for him to commission Philip Stern and Frank Stearns to design and build, respectively, a stately new Colonial that researcher Lynn refers to as Georgian Revival.

Only from 1944 to 1954 was the home owned by someone other than a Timberlake or the Bakers, and that was the William Herbert Owen family.
