It was built as log dog trot house and was modified in about 1870. In 1980 the current building was a five-bay central hall plan house. It was deemed "a typical example of the simplest version of the Greek Revival when it was applied to residences in Louisiana." It was the home of Louisiana state senator John P. Jones from about 1900 to about 1930.[2]
