This imposing Victorian structure was built circa 1860 by Dr. William Doswell Stirman, a successful physician, and received its name because he spent a fortune building it. In 1915, Samuel R. Ewing, a civic leader and tobacco farmer, purchased and remodeled the house. He entertained Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross, and other notables here.
