The original section dates to about 1800, and is a two-story, five-bay by one-bay, fieldstone structure. It has a gable roof, small shed-roofed porch, and terrace. A 2 1⁄2-story, four-bay, random fieldstone addition was designed by R. Brognard Okie and built in 1929. Also on the property is a contributing bank barn dated to 1873. The house was purchased by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Owen J. Roberts in 1927.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
