History edit
A two-story farmhouse had been completed by 1870; the owners were Frank H. McCullough and his wife, née Mary Evans.[2] The McCulloughs, who were from Philadelphia, sold the house in 1873 and bought it back in 1880.[2] Frank McCullough's father, Robert, was the first Secretary-Treasurer of the Philadelphia Trust, Safe Deposit and Insurance Company.[2] His wife, Mary McCullough, served as the president of the American Peony Society.[2]
The house was purchased by Horace Jones in 1939.[2]
Architectural significance edit
The McCulloughs hired architect Willis Polk to redesign the house in the Spanish Colonial Revival style in 1931.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since October 29, 1974.[1]
