It is a white-painted brick building with two front porches that are "among a very few fine examples of decorative Victorian cast iron work remaining in Louisville."[2]

The house was built for Charles C. Porter, a milliner, sometime during 1869–1875, but Porter had to mortgage the house by 1876. The mortgage-holder, James Todd, eventually acquired the property at a bankruptcy auction, and descendants of Todd seem to have owned and rented out the house until 1929.[2]

In 1979 it was the home of the American Saddle Horse Breeders Association.[2]
