Typical of early Summerville architecture, the home was built high off the ground and open underneath, but the lower floor was closed in after 1915. The house was occupied by Dr. W.M. Brailsford in 1838 when it was one of only 29 houses in the village. The exact date of construction and original ownership is uncertain, as the land was formerly a part of Colleton County, whose records burned in the 1860's.
