The house was built in 1838 for Richard H. May, the owner of plantations near Natchez, Mississippi who sold it to Benjamin Franklin Simpson in 1839.[2] It was owned by Colonel George Elliott, a veteran of the War of 1812 and the First Seminole War who owned Wall Spring, from 1842 to 1846, when it was purchased by Dr. John Washington Franklin.[2] During the American Civil War of 1861–1865, Franklin joined the Confederate States Army as a surgeon.[2]
From 1869 to 1900, the house belonged to Charles Trousdale, a Confederate veteran who was the son of Tennessee Governor William Trousdale.[2] It belonged to Rebecca Donelson Dismukes from 1901 to 1911, when it was purchased by J.T. Baskerville.[2]
