The Boxley Bed & Breakfast is a Greek/Federal style home that is the result of three stages of construction. The one story structure with a splayed gable roof and large interior chimney pre-dates the establishment of Madison (circa 1785) and contends with The Boxwood as the town's oldest extant structure.

The earlier portion of the two story house was erected in 1825 by William Hegwood who owned it for less than five years and in the early 1830's deeded it to Pleasant Black whose family occupied it throughout most of the 19th century.

In the early 1830's a two story Greek Revival hip-roofed ell with another two story pediment porch supported by monumental Ionic columns (built with rounded brick made at a plantation just outside Madison) was added to the west end of the earlier two story block so that the house now faces Hunter Street. This addition doubled the size of the existing structure. In 1930, the third stage of construction added a sun-porch, bathroom and an additional hall and staircase to connect to the main house.
