The building is part of the Savannah Historic District,[1] and in a survey for the Historic Savannah Foundation, Mary Lane Morrison found the building to be of significant status.[3]

It was built for David Lopez Cohen (1820–1893),[4] a successful ship builder from Charleston, South Carolina, and the nephew of David L. Lopez.[5] He also built the Shearith Israel Synagogue at 34 Wentworth Street in Charleston.[4][6] He is interred in Laurel Grove Cemetery.[7]
