It has a wood frame covered in clapboard siding, a sandstone foundation, and a gable roof of seamed metal. The front is five bays wide, and a long one-story wing extends to the rear. The plan is T-shaped. The most distinctive features are the elaborate front entranceway, framed by pilasters and a cornice, and the massive entablature at the eaves, which has partial returns at both ends. The house is relatively narrow, with only one window on each side. An 1859 county atlas shows it was owned by Mrs. Jarvis. Surveyors described it as one of Chesterville's most impressive and best-preserved Greek Revival houses.
