In 1816, the Eagle Tavern Inn, owned by Thomas T. Napier, occupied this site. William Wilkins bought the inn in 1830, and the property was purchased by Andrew and Alexander Sydney Reid in 1835. They changed the name of the inn to Reid's hotel. By 1846, Andrew Reid was the sole owner, and he converted the inn into a private home with the assistance of builder James M. Broadfield. The Greek Revival House features twelve wooden Doric columns. Subsequent owners include Francis Asberry Leverette, James M. Rainey, Mr. & Mrs. Emerson Foote Bronson, and Eunice Bronson (Frank P.) Stubbs. Stubbs donated the home to the Eatonton-Putnam County Historical Society in 1985.
