It attained the "Cedar Glade" name due to the giant red cedars Jacob Kinter, the builder, planted in front of the house. It has been owned by three different families: Kintners (1808), McGrains(1849), and Bennetts (1998). It is the second-oldest building in Harrison County, Indiana.

It was built in Late Federal/Early Republic Style, made of brick and shaped like a simple L.

During John Hunt Morgan's raid in 1863, noncombatants took refuge in the house.

Until 1946 it was a working farm.
