Henry's grandfather came to Marshall County in 1828, establishing a mercantile business along the Tennessee River.

His son, Albert Sr., continued the business, becoming the dominant store in Guntersville by the beginning of the Civil War.

He built the two-story, Queen Anne-style mansion in 1895, which features a tower, large wraparound front porch, and extensively detailed woodwork.

It sits across from the Greek Revival Henry-Jordan House, built by Albert's brother, Pat, in 1877.
