It was built about 1847, and is a two-story, three bay brick residence in the Greek Revival style. It has a low hipped roof. Also on the property are a contributing blacksmith shop/shed, a smokehouse, and a frame shed. It was the home of George Washington Sullivan, Sr., (1809–1887), a prominent farmer and public servant of Laurens District before, during, and after the American Civil War.^[2]^[3]
