The house was originally built in 1909. Former Turner County resident and historian David Baldwin recalls that the house once looked quite different: “At one time, that house was two stories,” Baldwin said. “My great-grandmama, Ola Jackson (1866–1949), ran a boarding house there. One night, it caught on fire, so they removed the top floor, and it became a single-story house. After she passed away, Porter Hudson (1884–1958) and my Aunt Marion [Marion Jackson Hudson] (1890–1958), my grandmama's sister - lived there.” It was in the early 1920s that this fire occurred.
