History
editThe original section of the house was built about 1840, and is a two-story, Greek Revival-style frame dwelling. The front facade features two-tier, pedimented Doric order entrance portico.

During the American Civil War, a segment of the Union Army set up headquarters in the house.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.[1]
