The Buell-Stallings-Stewart House was constructed in 1874 on property once owned by Col. Hilary A. Herbert. Col. Herbert had sold the lot in March 1871 to his sister Flora and her husband David Buell, a Greenville attorney, who in turn constructed the Gothic Revival house. After the death of David Buell his widow sold the house to Jesse Stallings, an attorney and who served in the U. S. House of Representatives from 1893 thru 1901. Stallings moved to Birmingham and sold the house to A. Graham Stewart, who owned a drug store on East Commerce Street. Several years after Mr. Stewart's death his widow married Judge L. M. Lane who owned the house next door. After Judge Lane's death, Mrs. Lane sold the house to his granddaughter, Mrs. Dan Sherling.
