The house was built between 1840 and 1844 for Hartwell Bass, who came from Virginia and used the forced labor of enslaved people to grow cotton on a large farm. Bass was a trustee of the Good Hope Male and Female Academy.[2] It was designed in the Greek Revival architectural style.[2] When Bass died in the early 1840s, it was inherited by his widow, Elizabeth, and her son-in-law, Patrick Henry Perry.[2] The house remained in the family until 1939.[2]

The house was owned by Hillary Mott from 1939 to 1968.[2] Mott was the president and later chairman of the Nehi Corporation as well as the director of the Southern Industrial Council based in Nashville, Tennessee.[2] By 1968, he sold the house to Roy Green.[2]

It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since January 19, 1976.[3]
