A grist and saw mill had been established on the riverfront not far from the mansion by 1785. The mansion is a rare combination of Federal architecture in the main mansion, and a later Victorian style addition. White Bush was accepted into the National Register of Historic Places on December 10, 1980. It is alternately listed as the Archibald Shearer House. It is also listed in the Berkeley County Historical Society and the Berkeley County Historical Landmarks Commission Survey. (en)
