Brief History (From the application see website)
The house was built in about 1830 as a raised plantation house four rooms wide and two
rooms deep with full front and rear galleries. The house was constructed of bousillage with hewn
studs and beams, and pit sawn rafters. It was raised about three feet above the ground. It was
noteworthy for its mantels, three of which survive. These were simple paneled and molded Greek
Revival box mantels. The house also had paneled French doors with transoms and paneled
shutters, simple heavy ogee cornices, and a five-bay, pillared Classical style front gallery. The rear
gallery had thinner posts and no entablature.
