Although a house may have sat on the northwest hill beside the covered bridge, the present house was built by John W. Rice in 1907. He purchased the mill interest from his father, Z. A. Rice. The Rice House is a Georgia and Cobb County Historic Place. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 8, 1983.
