History
James Augustus Buchanan commissioned the building of this prestigious home, completed in 1876. The bricks used in its construction were fired in kilns on the property. The exterior walls are three bricks deep, and the interior staircase and banister are solid walnut.

Subsequent to the death of James Augustus Buchanan, the house was conveyed to his daughter, Mary Walker Buchanan Blakemore. Upon her death, the house was left to her only son, John Augustus Blakemore. After John's death, the house was given to his daughter, Martha Buchanan Blakemore McCrary. In 2006, the house became a contribution to Emory & Henry College.
