The house was maintained and the Cobb family was served by the two dozen enslaved people Cobb owned, who lived behind the main house.Until 1962, the house was used for a variety of purposes including rental property, a fraternity house, and a boarding house. In 1962, the Archdiocese of Atlanta bought the house to use as the rectory and offices for St. Joseph Catholic Church.

In 2004 the Watson-Brown Foundation bought the house and returned it to Athens in the spring of 2005. The Watson-Brown Foundation restored the house to its appearance of 1850; in 2008, the Georgia Trust gave their work its Preservation Award for excellence in restoration.The house was delisted from the National Register in 1985, but was re-listed on July 23, 2013.The house is now open as a house museum located at 175 Hill Street in Cobbham Historic District.
