The circa 1855 late Federal brick house was transformed in 1924 by architect W. H. Irwin Fleming into an unusual local example of asymmetrical Colonial Revival design.

Its centerpiece is a five-bay brick house begun about 1855 as a two-story Federal-style I-house. In 1924 architect W. H. Irwin Fleming and the Hanback builders enlarged it, raising the roof, adding dormers, a Doric portico and side wings, and turning it into an asymmetrical Colonial Revival residence. Fleming also laid out the grounds, including a stone ha-ha wall concealing a pump house, boxwood-enclosed gardens, a bowling green and a swimming pool. Earlier farm buildings survive: a summer kitchen, an icehouse with an iron door, a drive-in crib barn extended in 1924, and a ruined house of about 1890. A brick garage and a tenant house were added by about 1950. The Wallach family owned the estate from 1924, and the buildings and landscape kept exceptional integrity, supporting a period of significance from 1855 to 1950 in architecture and landscape architecture.","period_of_significance":"1855-1950","architect_builder":"Architect W.
