This brick plantation house was built in 1823, and is a two-story, five-bay, brick dwelling in the Federal style. ^[3] It is known for its elaborate woodwork and ornamental ceiling medallions. ^[4]

The house was restored in the 1970s with Zuber scenic wallpaper of a hunting landscape ^[5] that was installed in the front hallway. Magnolia Grange was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. ^[1]
