It is a large two-story Greek Revival building, whose grounds occupy the western end of a city block bounded by Rock, 8th, and 7th Streets.

The house was built in 1840 for Albert Pike, a leading figure in Arkansas' territorial and early state history.

She and her sister Mary Fletcher Drennan willed the family mansion to the city, for use by the nearby Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts.

There is ongoing litigation between the City of Little Rock, the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts, and the Terry heirs.
