This Greek revival plantation home was built about 1850 by Williamson M.(1807-66) and Drucilla (1812-65) Freeman for their children. A cotton and sugar cane planter, Freeman also operated a river freighting business. Materials used in construction of the house include hand-hewn timbers and brick made on the site. In the 1870s the residence was sold to R.E. Rowell (1826-1900), a former Confederate doctor, who later served as county treasurer.

A rear wing was added to the home during the ownership of oilman L.S. Flannery (d.1961), who purchased the property in 1937.
