It was built c. 1850 for John Fisher, not long after Ashley County was organized, near the town of Alligator Bluff, which was located on the other side of the bayou, and which was later supplanted by Portland with the arrival of the railroad. It once served as a plantation house, for Fisher's plantation which was worked by enslaved people.^[2] The property in 1939 still held a slave quarters, a cotton gin, a grist mill, and a blacksmith shop.^[2] It is the only known antebellum Greek Revival house in the county.^[2]
