A structure on the same lot, but which faced onto East President Street, is visible in Historic American Buildings Survey photographs taken in the mid-20th century. This building was later demolished, after which the rears of today's duplex were extended.[citation needed]
In a survey for the Historic Savannah Foundation, Mary Lane Morrison found the building to be of significant status.[2] In 1964, Walter C. Hartridge wrote: "This trust lot, which is bounded by Abercorn and Drayton Streets, contains two buildings that are among the finest structures of the Greek Revival period in the United States.[3] Hartridge also stated, incorrectly, that the property was designed by Charles B. Cluskey, although he could have been responsible for its early form that was later expanded upon.[citation needed]
