The house shows Federal-period design that was enlarged and made more vertical in the 1840s to signal the Dew family's wealth.

The house is a single-pile Federal-style dwelling over a raised English basement, with brick made on site, English-bond walls, two end chimneys and a paired window in the upstairs hall that sets it apart from similar houses nearby. The plantation once covered 1,211 acres and included slave quarters and other buildings, but only the house survives from that period. Four contributing farm buildings remain: a post-and-beam granary and carriage house from after the Civil War, and a mechanic's shop, sweet potato shed and hen laying house built by Samuel Fogg in the 1920s. After the house was vacated in 1983, it was stabilized and restored in the 1990s, and later owners added modern utilities and a rear office room. The property was listed for its architecture, with a period of significance of about 1826 to about 1925.","period_of_significance":"Circa 1826-to-circa 1925","architect_builder":"Unknown/Dr. and Mrs. William and Susan Dew and others","architectural_style":"Early Republic: Federal","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"The house is a single-family dwelling and the outbuildings are used for animal facilities and an apiary.
