The two story wood-frame house was built in 1859, and is one a few pre-Civil War cotton-magnate houses to survive in the city.

The house has a cypress frame, and features a Classical Revival facade with a front gable supported by four round columns sheltering porches with ornamental iron railings.

The house was used as a military headquarters by Union Army forces during the Civil War.
