Its five-bay facade is essentially Federal in plan, but the entrance is a fine Greek Revival doorway with transom and sidelights and a broken cornice, recessed within a plain frame. Original six-over-six sash survives throughout, along with a frieze board and simple eaves cornice. An ell on the east side runs roughly the length of the facade, and eight of the doors keep their original hardware. The house was listed for the quality of its Greek Revival detailing and its high degree of integrity. It is linked to a series of classical houses associated with the builder A. Kimball and was built on land first owned by Horace Ensign. A creek runs behind the house, and the lot includes several farm outbuildings.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"A.
