Built in 1923, the house is a two-story brick residence combining American Craftsman and Colonial Revival elements under a hipped roof. In 1950 it was leased to Lady's Funeral Home, which operated there until 1968. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
The house is named for Harvey Jeremiah Peeler, its original owner, and locals also know it as Lady's Funeral Home. From 1950 to 1968 the Lady's Funeral Home operated inside the former residence, so several generations of Kannapolis families passed through its two formal entrances. The building keeps both names in local use today.
