The property includes a barn, a blacksmith shop, and a cottage to the rear which are older and are associated with the history of Ravenna, on an adjacent property.

It was home of Roane Fleming Byrnes (1890-1970), who was active in historic preservation and race relations and is also known for her promotion of the Natchez Trace Parkway.[1]
