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]

The property is denoted as Williamson County historic resource WM-197.[2]

The house "features an elaborate milled porch with extensive decoration and is one of the best examples of this style home in the county." Built by Edward J. Jordan, it became the home of his daughter Elizabeth and her husband Thomas G. Williams, who had served in the 20th Tennessee Infantry.[3]
