It was built about 1742, and is a -story, frame dwelling with a gambrel roof on a brick foundation. It features a double-shoulder Flemish bond chimney with small brick wings, and two other brick chimneys. The house has a hall-and-parlor plan. Also on the property is a contributing log storage house with a pyramidal roof and a board-and-batten door. The house was moved in 1983, to a new site less than one mile west of the original site.[1]
