The photographs show the house before its restoration in 1970 and after. The residence, built in the late 18th century/early 19th century, is an example of a transitional Georgian/Federal-style Piedmont plantation house. It is a two-story three-bay single-pile house with an original one-story rear shed, reconstructed entrance portico, two Federal-style gable-end brick chimneys, exterior finished with boxed cornices with patternboards and raked end boards, tall sash windows with two-part molded surrounds and thick rounded sills, asymmetrically placed paneled entrance, and a finely crafted and symmetrically balanced Georgian interior. More information about these photographs can be found on page 325-326 of the book The Architectural Heritage of Chatham County, North Carolina written by Rachel Osborn and Ruth Selden-Sturgill.
