The house, designed by James Brite and Henry Bacon, was constructed in Wilmington as a prime example of the Shingle style. It now serves as the parish house for St. James Episcopal Church. Originally built for Donald MacRae, a captain in the Second Regiment of the North Carolina Volunteers, the home is situated within the Wilmington Historic District.
