Built circa 1876, this house served as the office of the Lake Bluff Camp Meeting Association (LBCMA) and was originally located on Prospect Avenue, where the Union Church now stands. After the Village of Lake Bluff was incorporated in 1895, the Village board met here for the first three years. The house was moved to its present location on North Avenue in 1898, where it underwent some remodeling, despite its lines and trim remaining the same.

The LBCMA tabernacle, unused after the association ceased operation, was torn down and the lumber was used to construct a barn and livery stable which stood for many years behind this house on North Avenue.

Joseph A. Masonick and his family resided here for the better part of the early 20th century, into the 1940s. Masonick was an inventor and also worked for a time as village postmaster.
