The property was added to the United States National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

[1] The house, located in downtown Toccoa, Georgia across from the county courthouse, is representative of the frame Queen Anne Style Greek Revival houses built in Northern Georgia around the turn of the Twentieth century.

It was built by master builder and Toccoa resident E.L. Prater (1872-1950), who also built the NRHP-listed Walters-Davis House (1906) and the Stephens County Jail in Toccoa, a bank in Taylorsville, Georgia, and the Candler Street School (1911) in Gainesville, Georgia.
