The main portion of the house was built about 1794, as a two-story clapboard structure set upon a raised brick basement in the late-Georgian style.

In 1906 Captain Isaac Edward Emerson, the "Bromo-Seltzer King" from Baltimore, purchased the property.

A series of terraced gardens extend from the front of the house toward the Waccamaw River.
