Mrs. Clara B. Cassidy built the home in 1930 as a hunting lodge and summer home. Forty acres of land surrounded the house, which she purchased for ten dollars per acre. The home's original well and water pump is still located on the porch, now enclosed for use as a breakfast room. A large fireplace, constructed of granite quarried from Stone Mountain, served as the primary heat source for the home. Tongue-and-groove pine paneling covered many of the interior walls and the Casside home featured several coffered, waffle-patterned decorative ceilings.
The home was featured on the 1981 Dunwoody Tour of Homes.
In 1998, the home received substantial damage in the Dunwoody tornado. Originally condemned by Dekalb County, the homeowners, Ken and Brenda Lamb, received permission to restore the house to its original condition.
Today the home is a private residence.
