Built by William Croom, the house was purchased in 1850 by Dr. Thomas Munroe. The families of George Dismukes, William Munroe, Robert Cantey, and Buryl Higdon have been connected to residing here. This Classic Revival home is well situated on the lot, and the grounds cover one half of a block. The present owner, John Higdon, accomplished a detailed restoration of this stately home in 1998-99.
