Maguire's son, Fred, was Ocoee's first mayor, and another son, Raymer, was the first city attorney. David Maguire died in 1913, but members of his family continued to reside in the house until 1979.

Made from pine cut and milled on this site, it is an example of Stick Victorian style architecture.
