According to local legend, money to build the Ace of Clubs House came from the winnings of a poker game won with the draw of the ace of clubs. Local lumberman, entrepreneur and Confederate Veteran, James H. Draughon, built the home in 1885 in a trefoil design resembling the shape of the ace of clubs playing card. The unique Italianate Victorian style structure features a floor plan said to be inspired by the lucky card. One rectangular and three octagonal rooms are arranged around a central octagon, which serves as the rotunda of the home.
