The original Kyle House, home to merchant James Kyle, burned in a city fire in 1831.[2] Rumor had it that the great fire began in the Kyle House's kitchen.[3] It was then rebuilt in about 1855 as a two-story, five bay, brick town house with Greek Revival and Italianate style design elements. It features a three bay wide one-story porch with a flat roof supported by four fluted Doric order columns.[4]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.[1]
