Hilton in Columbus, Georgia was built in 1843 for Dr. Lovick Pierce, who bought the land in 1838. It was built as a "comfortable" four-room house on its own city block, with a driveway avenue of cedar trees leading to it from Macon Road.[2]

He was a medical doctor in Philadelphia and became a Methodist minister.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. The NRHP listing included 6 acres (2.4 ha) with two contributing buildings.[1]

Its architecture is described as "Italian Villa" style,[2] which may relate to Italianate architecture.

The house was restored in 1936.[2]
