It was built in 1796 by William King as the first home for himself and his new bride, Caroline Hassell, married on Christmas Day of the same year.

The home remained in the King family for one hundred years, and a large farming operation was conducted on the property with the use of up to 30 enslaved people.

The property and home were sold numerous times, falling into disrepair.

In 1978 it was a two-story double pen with its front entrance into an enclosed former dogtrot.
