Matthew Hall built this house at 16906 Detroit Avenue, just west of Edwards Avenue, during the 1860s. He moved into a larger house at 16718 Detroit Avenue in 1879. In the 1970s, his first house was the site of Hixson's Flower Shop and later became an antique store. Despite the best efforts of the Lakewood Historical Society and a number of other community members to raise the funds needed to have the house moved, the owner had it demolished in 2007.
