The east wing of the Eppes family home was added in 1841 and added a parlor, sitting room, three bedrooms on the second floor, and an entry hall making it the “front” of the house. By the 1850s a formal driveway had been created taking advantage of a new maintained county road that pushed a shift to land-based transportation.
