The house was originally a simple structure with a central hallway flanked by two rooms on each side, along with front and back porches. When Mr. William Lanneau acquired the property around 1900, he enhanced it with two rounded turrets on the porch and incorporated additional Victorian architectural elements, making it one of the last surviving examples in Summerville. Part of the rear porch was enclosed to create a kitchen, and a section of the central hallway was converted into a spacious living area. Historically known as the Lanneau House, the property is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Summerville Historic District. Listed at recently appraised price, home being sold as-is.
