Named for John Fromberger and Mary Warden Harkness, the Fromberger-Harkness House was built as late as 1795.

The building was razed and rebuilt in 1838-1839, and then enlarged in 1857. The congregation, led by pastor Jacob Helffenstein, withdrew from the Reformed Church in 1855, become Presbyterian in 1858.
