The house was built by farmer and enslaver William Andrews (??-1890) to be the main residence and headquarters of his agricultural forced labor camp.[1] It was erected in two sections about 1790 and 1830, and was a large 2 12-story, Georgian-style timber frame dwelling. It has a transitional Federal/Greek Revival style one-story rear ell. It features two exquisite double paved-shouldered chimneys.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1] After a recent restoration, the house caught on fire on March 29, 2006, destroying much of the building.[3] The house was sold in 2010 to new owners, who launched a restoration effort.
