According to a later owner, John Bailey, the red brick Georgian Revival house was built for General Van Metz, who had been chief of staff for General Pershing in World War I and later attorney general of North Carolina. Bailey stated that this was the last lot on prestigious Blount St. and that Metz wanted a Blount Street address, so although the house actually faces Franklin Street, its address is on Blount.
