Description

This house is also known as the McEachin-Little House. It is a square two-story structure with a center end-chimney and hip roof. A hall separates four rooms downstairs and the second story has the same plan.

Originally, thee were 16 bracketed posts of wood, with bannisters between, across the porch. There were bannisters at the top of the porch, also a bannistered balcony hung above the porch. the kitchen was in the yard away from the house.

This structure was at one time the home of Julia Tutwiler.

In 1919, when Mr. Richard Little bought the property, the bannistered porch and balcony were removed. A portico with four Doric posts were added at the entrance and a porch was constructed on the north side of the house.

There are nine windows across the front of the house and eight of these are two-sashed and six-paned. The front door, under a French Gothic arch, has a square transom and side lights. The floors are wide planked.
