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 (the road to Macon, Georgia).
He was a medical doctor in Philadelphia and became a Methodist minister.
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.
Its architecture is described as "Italian Villa" style, which may relate to Italianate architecture.
The house was restored in 1936.
