Constructed by John Fowler from 1848 to 1851 with bricks fired on the property, the house was first known as Fowler's Inn and provided food and lodging for drovers herding livestock over the Wellsburg-Washington Turnpike to eastern markets. It also housed a post office, general store, and livestock yards, and Fowler operated a steam powered grist mill in the area.
