The house was moved in 1974 from its original site at 734 Oak Street to a new site at 901 West Fourth Street. It was subsequently restored (1974-1975) and houses a restaurant. [2] [3] [4]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. [1] It is in the West End Historic District.
