The first house is a simple, rural building built in 1742 by Benjamin Stiles, a pioneer planter on James Island. William Godber Hinson, who made significant contributions in the field of agricultural science, built the 1891 portion of the house and continued to keep the plantation active until the early years of the 20th century.[2]

The conjoined arrangement of two styles is unique. The exteriors of both houses are characteristic of their historic periods. The Stiles portion of the house is an example of a mid-18th century planter's house. The larger part of the house, facing the river and built by Hinson, is Victorian.

The house was listed in the National Register of Historic Places October 9, 1974.[1]
