No. (Not to my knowledge, and I think this would be a well known incident.)

Hint #2: It's correct this was a person's home.

Hint 3: I have decided to post a more current photo:
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - RJNorton - 12-20-2015
A rear view of Stephen A. Douglas's birthplace in Brandon, Vermont?
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Eva Elisabeth - 12-20-2015
Outstanding ideas, Thomas, Laurie, and Joe, but it's in neither of of those states.
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Thomas Kearney - 12-20-2015
I'm going with Joe on this one!

Hint #4: There's a strong symbolic hint in the last photo.

That must be it, but Eva told me it was not farther north than Pennsylvania.,,
Home associated with Walt Whitman - if he's the one that wrote about lilacs blooming.

Yes! It's the home of Walt Whitman!
