It is a monumental Beaux Arts house that was built originally in c.1860 as an Italianate summer home for a rich south Georgia planter, W.W. Chapman.
It was remodelled into the Beaux Arts style by W.J. Kincaid, founder of a textile manufacturing firm in Griffin. Kincaid bought the house in 1874. His daughter, born in the house in 1875, married a Hunt and lived there until 1959.[2] The house was moved to 525 North Pine Hill in 1978,[3] apparently at 33°15′44″N 84°18′59″W / 33.26214°N 84.31637°W.
