This simple one-and-a-half story house with its prominent end chimneys is one of the oldest extant buildings in Claiborne County. When the home was constructed about 1817, Church Street, then known as Cotton Street, was quite suburban. This building's rather unornamented form was primarily a response to traditional building modes of the Eastern Seaboard adapted to the specific requirements of this area. No doubt the house once had galleries with simple posts or colonnettes at the front and back. The plan of the original portion is rather simple, two rooms wide and one-and-a-half rooms deep with a small stair rising from the back hall to the two bedrooms under the roof. Throughout the main part of the house, much of the simple Federal architectural detail remains un-changed. Changes in 1851 include the wing at the rear, the front porch, and the small formal garden on the north side. The house has 4 bedrooms and 2 baths. The back apartment has a bedroom, bath, living area and kitchen.
