It was built about 1815, and is a two-story, three bay, limestone structure with a central-hall plan. A frame rear ell was added in the mid-19th century. It has a side gable roof. The front facade features a mid-19th century porch supported by chamfered columns connected on each level by a decorative cyma frieze and sawn balustrade.
