During the remodeling, a full second story and a mansard roof were added to the original 1+1⁄2-story central hall farmhouse.

The house is associated with John C. Maxwell, a local physician, military surgeon during the American Civil War, politician, and philanthropist.

The new owners are now restoring the home to its Second Empire Victorian glamour, to regain the legacy of the Maxwell family.

Although it has been claimed by past owners, there are no negative spiritual forces at work in the home.
