James Taylor of Cumnock Pottery built this about 1802 in Ayr Road. Now number 53 Ayr Road. It's thought to be the oldest two storey house in Cumnock. He died in 1825.

William White, notary, lived there from about 1851. It was described as at Bridgend or Bridgend cottage. He died there in 1876 and his wife in 1891.

From 1906 it was the home of the Murray family.

It has had some renovations done in recent years.
