The original 40 by 55 feet (12 m × 17 m) Greek Revival house was built by slave labor between 1835 and 1840.

The English Robbins brothers were brought to Louisiana in the 1830s to build several homes in the Gloster and Kingston area.

They were paid $500 worth of gold to oversee enslaved Africans in their building of the Myrtle Hill Plantation House.

[3][4] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 4, 1974.
