[4] In 1932, the rear portion of the property, which faces on Church Street to the east, was subdivided, and the original stables and servants' quarters were converted into the Louis Gourd House.

Attorney Gedney Howe and his wife, Patricia, bought the house in 1976 and undertook a restoration.

[5] In 2000, Mr. Howe put the house up for sale,[6] but it was still unsold by 2004, when he opted to advertise it for auction to occur on May 25, 2004.

The owner stated he wished to avoid any implication that John C. Calhoun lived in the home.

The house and grounds have appeared in ABC's mini-series North and South as the Hazards' mansion.
