Marmaduke David Myers (1839-1909) was born in the Chesterfield District of South Carolina to Ransom Joshua Myers and Matilda Huntley.
On October 27, 1859 Marmaduke married Sarah Elizabeth Timmons (1841-1920) of Union County.
The 1870 census found farmer Myers family in White Store, Anson County (post office Wadesboro). Nine years later, Isaac S. Huntley, of Chesterfield County, sold Myers the lot at the corner of Hayne and Hudson, where the 1880 Monroe census recorded 40-year-old policeman Marmaduke Myers and family.
According to the National Register, Myers is listed in the 1890 Branson's Business Directory as town marshall and a wine maker.
The Italianate-style house was inherited by daughter Annie Myers Smith, whose husband Julian was a salesman with R.A. Morrow Company. The house appears on the 1914 Sanborn Map with its current configuration, suggesting that the Smiths remodeled the house soon after Mrs. Smith inherited it. The current arrangement consists of a T-plan; a two-story, single-pile frame cross-gabled portion overlaid at the rear with a hipped-roofed, single-pile wing. Centered in the three-bay front elevation is a one-bay, flat-roofed colossal portico with a pair of fluted Ionic columns. An L-shaped, one-story porch runs behind the column line of this portico, supporting a second floor balcony that has a turned-baluster railing. The first floor has an Italianate door surround with shouldered architrave, octagonal panels below the sidelights and brackets between transom panels. The second floor has a neo-classical door surround with sidelights and transom. Centered in the front of the roof over the portico is a large gabled dormer with a Palladian window. At the southeast corner of the house is a one-story, gable-roofed addition. Window sash on the house are one over one. The south gable has a step-shouldered exterior chimney with corbelled cap. There is also an interior chimney with corbelled cap.
