History
editThe house was built in 1865-1866 for Ephraim Braswell and his wife, née Martha Ann Eugenia Wallis.[2] The land was given to the couple as a wedding gift by the bride's father, Josiah Wallis, in 1861. However, the construction of the house was delayed by the American Civil War of 1861–1865. Braswell served in the Confederate States Army (CSA) during the war, and returned to civilian life in 1865.[2]
The house was purchased by James Davis Carnes, a farmer, in 1893.[2] It still belonged to his descendants in the 1980s.[2]
Architectural significance
editThe house was designed in the Georgian architectural style.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since March 1, 1984.[1]
