According to legend, after the Civil War an architect gave the house plans to the owner as a wedding gift, but the architect's name is unknown.

The house has been immaculately restored featuring large porches, a copper roof, hardwood floors, several fireplaces, modern kitchen, cypress molding, ceilings and panels, study, and a remarkable oval entrance hall. The dining room mural was painted by Jennifer Rempel of Pittsburg in 1994 and contains only wildlife and flora indigenous to Woodside. A pool fed by clear, artesian spring water sits in the side yard.
