A bit of history: Edward F. Searles owned the land around 1900. Built around 1906, the home sits across from the site of Great Barrington's historic railroad station (no longer in use). It was possibly constructed in connection with the Housatonic Railroad, later known as the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad.
