Harry Harvey (1864–1932) and his wife Louisa Ann (Light) Harvey (1870–1971) were both born in England and emigrated to the U.S. around 1911. They arrived in East Lansing by 1915 and built this house in which Harry resided until his death, and Louisa until around 1945. Harry worked as a machinist for the Michigan Screw Company, a subsidiary of the REO Motor Car Company. The house appears to be a good example of the Craftsman style, but otherwise its significance to the East Lansing Historic Commission is not known to this author.
