Prior to construction of the home, the land was variously known as Bailey's Good Luck, Austin Adventure, Bellville, the Creek Farm, the Bailey Farm, and in earliest known records, "Taunton Deane." The land was originally granted to Francis Roberts (1636-1703), who arrived there from England. Roberts sold the land to Benjamin Cottman in a documented sale on June 25, 1671.
White Hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
