It was built around 1780, and is a 2+1⁄2-story, five bay frame dwelling with beaded siding and a exterior end chimneys. It was built in stages starting with a hall and parlor two room house in 1780, then extended to add a new front room around 1791 forming an L-configuration, and extended again with the federal 2+1⁄2-story structure being built in front of the original house around 1820 and attached to it so that the original house now forms a rear shed wing. Also on the property are the contributing tenant house, outbuilding, and a small Victorian-period brick ice house.[2]
