Records show this 2-acre property was purchased in December 1881 by Mrs. Pauline B. Rhett for $300. The house features unusual interior architecture with an octagonal room and medallion skylight extending to 18 feet high. The house was purchased in 1944 by the Summerville School District to board teachers. It was then sold to author Paul Hyde Bonner in 1954.
