The house is a splendid example of Second Empire Victorian architecture. It was designed by architect L. E. Thornton of New York.[2]

The Bullard family lived here for 90 years. Their guests included President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Generals George Patton and George Marshall who dined on "Country Captain," a popular regional dish originated by the family cook, Arie Mullins.

The house was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1977.[1]

It was painstakingly restored in 1978 by new owners, Dr. and Mrs. Lloyd Sampson.
