The building was used during the Civil War for military and medical purposes and later became important in the development of Storer College. Its layered history has also produced paranormal stories. Visitors and ghost-tour accounts describe unexplained sounds and apparitions resembling soldiers within or around the house. Access to the interior may be limited, and the building should be viewed according to National Park Service rules.
