The original structure, built in 1820, was a plantation-plain house on a high basement. Bought by Edmund Pendleton in 1853, the house was expanded to accomodate his large family. After its purchase by R.A. Graves in 1880, the house was altered to its present Victorian style. The house features bay windows with octagonal spires on the one-room-deep second story, and a one-story wraparound veranda with turned posts. Decorative brackets at the top of the posts create a series of arches. The railing enclosing the veranda features a unique geometrical pattern. A projecting pediment with fan motif marks the entrance to the veranda.
