History

The house was built in 1809 for Dr. Martin Walton, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War. The house was built on land given to Dr. Walton via a land grant in 1802. He lived there with his five children after moving from Louisa County, Virginia along with other family members. His wife, Elizabeth, had died in Virginia in 1800, at the birth of their youngest child, and never got to see the house. Walton later remarried Chloe Walton and they had no recorded children. [1] Walton was a physician, Baptist minister, and large landowner who grew corn and cotton; he also made whiskey.[1] Chloe Walton died in 1840 and Martin Walton died in 1844 and is buried on the property, and his son David was murdered by two slaves a year later.[1] The house was purchased by William Pope in 1845.[1]

The house was purchased by William Cook, a veteran of the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War, and his wife Susan, in 1866.[1] It was redesigned in the Italianate architectural style in 1870.[1] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[2]
