John Harvey died in 1905, but his widow lived in the house into the 1920s.[4] In the 1920s, Jesse Hobbs, an automobile worker, purchased the home. In 1938, the structure was converted into a rooming house; some of the larger rooms were partitioned.[4]

Developers purchased the John Harvey House in 1986, renovated the structure, and, in 2005, opened it as the historic Inn at 97 Winder with 10-room guest rooms.[2]

John Harvey employed John V. Smith to design this house with its Second Empire, Queen Anne architecture, located in the prestigious Brush Park neighborhood. Originally completed in 1887, the John Harvey House is constructed of red brick atop an ashlar foundation[3] with a mansard roof.[4] The façade features a center entrance and wooden brackets supporting the sills of the multi-storied towers and window bays.[3] The house has 11,000 square feet (1,000 m2), eight marble fireplaces, and three-story staircase.[4]
