Built about 1890 as a one-room tenant house and later enlarged several times, this dwelling features a narrow front porch and rear shed room addition typical of many tenant houses on plantations and farms in the post-Civil War South. Like the families who lived here, most tenants were African American. From 1890 to 1999, members of the Williams, Waiters, Frazier, Martin, and Gregg families lived here, working as wage laborers or sharecroppers on land owned by the Gregg and Wallace families. The house was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
