The house stands within the Uptown Suburbs Historic District, listed on the National Register in 2001. Visitors approach it from North Main Street in central High Point; the two-story stuccoed facade with its arched loggia is best seen from the street side, as the building is a private structure rather than an open museum.
The property once served as the Davis Funeral Home and narrowly escaped demolition in 1997 when it was nearly torn down to make way for a fast-food restaurant. Its rescue led to a full restoration that preserved its original character while transforming it into a 31-room boutique inn featuring furniture collected from around the world.
