Historians believe that the house was built during the 1840s for Squire Lowry, a wealthy planter originally from North Carolina.

The two-story, L-shaped house is wood framed with a brick masonry foundation and columns.

A monumentally scaled hexastyle portico spans the three-bay front facade.

She purchased the house and subsequently donated it to the Perry County Historical and Preservation Society.
