It was built or has other significance as of c.1855, and includes Central passage plan and Italianate architecture. When listed the property included one contributing building, one non-contributing building, and two non-contributing structures, on an area of 10 acres (4.0 ha).[2]

According to a 1988 study of Williamson County historical resources, it is one of a handful of notable, historic Italianate style residences in the county, others being the James Wilhoite House, the John Hunter House, the Owen-Cox House, the Y.M. Rizer House (c. 1875, a combination of Italianate and Second Empire design), the Henry Pointer House, the Andrew C. Vaughn House, and the Thomas Critz House.[1]
