[1] A local shipping magnate, Stephen Gardner, hired architect Charles B. Cluskey to design the house.
[2] Aaron and Mary Jane Griggs Champion's only child, daughter Maria,[3] married James Wallace McAlpin (1831–1905),[3] and used the home for an entertaining venue while living at the Hermitage Plantation, two miles down the Savannah River.
