The mansion was completed in 1867.[3] It was built for Elijah Simerly (1820–1891), the founder of the town of Hampton (named after his wife's maiden name) and the President of the East Tennessee and Western North Carolina Railroad from 1867 to 1871.[3]
The house was acquired by A. H. Robinson in 1907.[3] Three years later, in 1910, it was purchased by Nathaniel Edwin Harris, who served as the 61st Governor of Georgia, and his wife, Hattie Jobe Harris.[3]
