The residence, built most likely in the early 19th century, is a one-story four-bay house with engaged front and rear shed-roof porches and two early end coursed stone chimneys with an unusually narrow neck and broad shoulders. In 1930 the porches were enclosed, the interior resheathed, and the roof replaced.
