The house in its current form was constructed ca. 1800, remodeled before 1824, includes interior carved woodwork characteristic of the classic revival style and a colonial-era smokehouse dated to about 1760.^[2] It is a two-story, five-bay, Federal style frame dwelling with a sheathed weatherboard and gabled roof.
