The house was built in 1815, during the height of Castine's prosperity as a maritime center after the War of 1812. The house was built for Thomas and Jane (Russell) Adams; he was a local selectman and served in the state legislature. Their daughter Jane married Charles Cate, and they were the house's next owners. Their daughter Anna married Sanford B. Dole, a leading figure in late-19th century Hawaiian politics. Harriet Beecher Stowe is known to have stayed here during a visit to Castine. At the time of the property's listing on the National Register in 1970, the house was owned by the Maine Maritime Academy, and served as housing for its executive officer.〔
