It was built as a Flemish bond brick single cell central passage plan house on what was then the Jackson-Providence Road. There may have been an original ell to the rear; a new ell replaced that around 1900, and an enclosed porch was added c.1920.[2]

It was deemed " significant for its association as an early stage coach stop and post office in ante-bellum Hopkins County. It is the only building from this period associated with early inns along historic road routes in the county. The house is also the only remaining ante-bellum brick building in the rural area of the county."[2]
