History
editThe two-story mansion was built from 1840 to 1845 for Thomas Baytop Cocke, a farmer.[2] It was purchased by Charles Lyman Martin in 1891.[2] When their daughter Ella May married Eugene Edgar Jackson in 1894, they purchased more land and turned it into a 1,500-acre (610 ha) plantation.[2] Several decades later, it was inherited by their son, Eugene Anselum Jackson, who restored it in the 1930s.[2]
The property was purchased by Henry Allen in 1942, with only 10 acres (4.0 ha) left.[2] By the late 1990s, it belonged to their son, Albert Allen.[2]
