The house was built by William Flanner around 1900. There was also a "store house" on the property, also built by William Flanner, probably at the same time.
Eliza Pannill (Bullock) Carr, Julian S. Carr's mother, lived in the house, perhaps until her death in October 1906.
Sold by the Carr family to S. Bane/Bain (and wife, Esther) in September 1912.
Rev. Dr. Louis H. Hackney purchased the property from S. Bane May 22, 1913 for $970, and lived in the structure with his wife, Laura.
In 1916 Dr. Hackney sold the property to the board of trustees of Hackney's Educational and Industrial School (which was located to the south of the Flanner-Carr House) for $2,300, who then sold it to Orange County. The school was then renamed the Orange County Training School and remained in use as a school for African-American students.

On June 12, 1922, the Flanner-Carr House and several outbuildings burned down when some boarders in the house accidentally started a fire in the kitchen, The June 1925 Sanborn map of Chapel Hill shows only one structure still extant at this location.
