It was built in 1809. It made the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

Thomas Downs was a politician from Charlestown that was Clark County's first county treasurer. He would later serve as an Indiana Territory legislator. [Kramer, Carl. "This Place We Call Home" (Indiana University Press, 2007) p.39)]

It is owned by the Clark's Grant Historical Society, who has a museum there but offers tours by reservation only.
