Portions of the Captain Lemuel Clap House may have been built as early as 1633; it is known to that a house was on the site in that year. The house went through extensive changes in 1767, when it was expanded and renovated by Lemuel Clap. The William Clapp House was built in 1806 by Lemuel Clap's son William. The family operated a large Dorchester tannery.
