The home was built in 1924 by E.F. Whitman, the first mayor of Boaz. Its low roof and wide piers along the porch are the Prairie style made famous by Frank Lloyd Wright, as well as elements of the Craftsman style that became common in the early 1900s. In 1941, the house was purchased by Dr. Marston Hunt, where he received after-hours patients there. In 1993, it was opened as the Boaz Bed and Breakfast for a few years and in 1997 was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
