The columns were originally Doric. George P. Swift, father of Mrs. J. P. Kyle, reorganized and started the Muscogee Manufacturing Company just after the war. He bought the house from Rothschild and paid for it with Confederate money. During Wilson's raid, the house was used by Union soldiers. In 1898 the roof burned and the interior was changed.
