Samuel Washington sold this property to James Duke, a freed indentured servant, in 1799 and then the property was purchased by Dr. Charles Taylor Richardson who ran his medical practice from the house. In the first decades of the 1900s the building was Charles Town's first hospital and then it was converted to a retirement home (Knott Home). Now called Etter Hall, the building was purchased and renovated by the American Public University System in 2003. Etter Hall is named after Major James P. Etter, the founder of American Public University System.

This house was constructed between 1900 and 1914 by the Blum family, but is most connected in local history to the residency of Dr. Leah Mildred Williams. Williams purchased the home in 1954 and ran a family medical practice until 1986. She also served as Jefferson County Medical Examiner, Chief of Staff at Jefferson Memorial Hospital, and with the Independent Fire Company. Dr. Williams lived in the house until her death in 2008. The American Public University System purchased the property and restored it in 2009.
