It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
The house is a three-and-one-half-story, six-bay, frame, vernacular dwelling with Greek Revival and Italianate influences. The oldest section of the main house was built during the late eighteenth century as a two-story, three-bay frame structure. Additions to the house occurred were made roughly between 1870 and 1883, when this structure took its present form.
A stairwell addition was built in 1982. The front facade features a one-story, flat roofed porch. Also located on the property are a contributing tenant house, a carriage house, a shed, and a ice house. The house was built as a private dwelling, then converted for use as a hotel and resort starting about 1870. It operated as an inn until 1930. It reopened in 1982 as a bed-and-breakfast known as EverMay On-The-Delaware.[1] But was closed in 2005 and now operates as a private residence.
