It is an early dry stone hall-parlor plan house believed to have been built c.1790 by John Allen, who received a 1,000 acres (400 ha) grant in 1780 in what was then Virginia, due to his father's military service in 1763. John Allen was an American Revolutionary War soldier from Fauquier County, Virginia.[2]
A stone wing added c.1810 includes a Federal-style mantel.[2]
