The large brick main core was built about 1782, and is a -story, double-pile, center-hall plan structure with a three-bay facade in the Federal style. The interior has Georgian style details. It has a summer kitchen addition built about 1860, and it is a -story, single-pile structure added to the rear of the main core.
