Over the years the building has served many purposes including private residence, a boarding house, a teahouse, a display area for Delta Tau Delta national fraternity, and the office of the Heritage Resource Center. Bethany College has owned the house since 1975. The house was restored in 1978 to its earlier appearance at the time of the founding.
