It was built in 1832[2] and expanded and remodeled in the Gothic Revival style in 1858 by William Cincinnatus Ashe, a physician from North Carolina.

The gables and porch are trimmed with bargeboards in a design taken from Samuel Sloan's plan for "An Old English Cottage" in his 1852 publication, The Model Architect.

It is noted as having "very delicate lace-like porches and vergeboard details."

Paired gables appear in about five percent of Gothic Revival houses in America.
