William Sidney Pittman was an architect and son-in-law of Booker T. Washington. He built the house in 1907, the year he married Washington’s daughter, Portia. The house was known to the family as “Little White Tops,” likely because of the roof decorations. Pittman played an active role in the community, establishing the Fairmount Heights Mutual Improvement Company that oversaw the building of a social club. The house was damaged by fire and demolished in 2013.
