It was built for entrepreneur John Heyward Glover, who sold it in 1851 and went on to build the Glover-Blair-Anderson House (c.1851) also in Marietta,[1] said to be "one of the finest antebellum structures in Marietta",[3] and also NRHP-listed as part of the Northwest Marietta Historic District.

It was vacant from 1931 to 1939, then purchased and restored.[1]

It was listed on the National Register in 1977.[2][1]
