The principal two-story, hipped roof brick core was built between 1800 and 1810.

The house was remodeled extensively between 1820 and 1835, as a Greek Revival style villa.

The younger Bolling installed triple-hung sash as part of his renovations, and added the portico with a Chinese lattice railing.

This resulted in the tri-partite scheme showing influence by Thomas Jefferson.
