Its architecture has been described as "Antebellum Vernacular".

It was part of a farm that used the Big Sandy River to export its crops and was deemed notable as "a good representative of Louisa's early settlement and agricultural and commercial patterns."[2]

The house was equipped to serve as a hospital during the American Civil War but was not used in that capacity.[2]
