Initially, the distinguished Judge Charles Silent (1842-1918), the original developer of the Chester Place tract, sold the lot at 10 Chester Place to William Bayly (b. 1856). Colorado hardware and mining magnate Bayly was the brother-in-law of Oliver Posey (1845-1930) who built a grand mansion at 8 Chester Place between 1898-1900. John Houghton had this residence erected by 1900. Soon after he bought the Oliver Posey House at #8 Chester Place, the oilman Edward L. Doheny, Sr., (1856-1935), purchased Houghton's House next door for his son, Edward L. "Ned" Doheny, Jr. (1893-1929). The Doheny Family bought a number of lots in the exclusive Chester Place sub-division, providing them with a measure of privacy. They would need this privacy during the late 1920s, when both Doheny and his son were implicated in the sensational Teapot Dome Oil Scandal.

Demolished.
