James Stuart Hanckel (1817-1892), who was born into a wealthy Charleston family and who, in 1839, followed his father into the Episcopal priesthood. By 1860 Hanckel had eight children, and a spacious home was considered appropriate for a family of this size and social status. In Transylvania County, Hanckel helped establish a new—though short-lived—congregation, St. Paul's in the Valley (1856-1864); but in 1864, he moved to Charlottesville, Virginia, where he served as rector of Christ Episcopal Church until his death in 1892.

Thomas Claghorn Gower (1822-1894), former mayor of Greenville, South Carolina, bought the property in 1891 but then drowned in the French Broad River in 1894. His widow sold the property to Hampton E. Tener (1836-1910) in 1900. After two quick transfers, the house and surrounding land was sold in 1909 to Joseph K. Barclay (1864-1938), a banker from Greensburg, Pennsylvania.

The house remained in the Barclay family until 1996, and a number of support structures were built during the Barclay tenure. After being vacant for 10 years, the house was purchased and restored by Neil and Rosalie Morris.
