It is dated to the late 18th century, and is a two-story, five-bay brick structure with 12 fireplaces in the Federal style. It has a small porch supported on four evenly spaced square columns with Ionic order capitals added around 1810. The house still has much of its original glass and original woodwork, and a formal boxwood garden with some of the box trees well over a century old.
