The house is located along Stonewall Street on the A & M campus, between Bois D'Arc and Campbell Streets, but it faces into the campus, not towards the street. There is ample parking in lots 11 and 12, in front of the house, which is close to the corner of Campbell and Stonewall Streets.

Marker Text:
Designed by Greenville architects George Lindsey and Roy Kilmer in 1927, the President's House was built on land purchased from Daniel and Annie Bachman. The house exhibits an understated adaptation of Georgian Revival style elements in its dark red brick and white trim with simple Classical details. After the construction of a new president's house in 1968, the house served as offices. In 1995, the home was renamed "Heritage House" and restored to its 1930s appearance for use as a heritage center.
