The homestead was founded in the first half of the 19th century in cruda radice, that is, on previously undeveloped site; at the time of progress after the land reform and the abolition of serfdom in Prussia. It belonged to the Beckmann family, who were wealthy peasants and whose presence in Stary Jarosław was recorded as early as in 1648.

Particular buildings have been arranged into a four-sided layout with a wide yard, accessible by two opposite gateways, one leading to the field, and the other to the village road. The oldest object is a half-timbered cottage built in 1838 (according to an inscription above the front door), situated in the depth of the yard. At the same time (the 2nd quarter of the 19th century), two other objects were built in the vicinity of the cottage: an outbuilding, with a gateway leading out to the field, and a half-timbered barn with a dovecote and a small arcade along the western side of the yard. Both buildings no longer exist.

The front gatehouse dates back to 1860. The date has been indicated by an inscription in the lintel, over the gateway, naming also the owner of the homestead, Ernst Beckmann. In the 1910s, the ground-floor part of the building was bricked up. Parts of the roof truss and woodworking were replaced. The interior divisions were re-arranged.

After 1945, the migrants from the central part of Poland were given the homestead by the state. They ran a private farm here. Presently, it is a private property.
