It looks like at one time it coulda been a small museum like Ross House but today it is all boarded up.
Any info would be much appreciated.

That's called the Kelley house, after an early owner (who resided there around 1900) Thomas Kelley, who was involved in the Legislature building scandal.
I think it's on the heritage building list mainly by virtue of the fact that it's the last house to be standing in the modern-day Exchange District (besides the 1878 house on Albert), and because it managed to have retained it's Queen Anne style character so well.
I don't think it has ever been a museum or accessable to the public, but it doesn't look like anyone's lived there in a long time, either.
