[3] It was designed by architect Clarence Kelley Colley in the Dutch Colonial Revival architectural style.

Colley primarily designed public buildings to include the North Branch Carnegie Library in Nashville and the Perry County Courthouse.

Colley also designed buildings located on university campuses, such as MTSU and Austin Peay State University, making the Wilkinson house unique as one of the few residential buildings designed by Colley.

[3] The house has served as the Kincer family residence during the last 50 years and three generations.

Directly behind the house is a small gable front concrete-block building with asphalt shingle siding, originally used as a smokehouse and now used for storage.
