Its symmetrical east facade centers on an entrance porch and has three gabled wall dormers with paired sashes and scroll-cut vergeboards. The porch has paired brackets on octagonal piers, and a one-story bay projects from the north side. A lean-to addition holding a kitchen and enclosed porch was added on the south in 1900. The house appears on an 1875 map and is labeled River View House in 1891, when the area had become a summer resort drawn by writer N. P. Willis's praise of Cornwall. Mixing Italianate and Carpenter Gothic details, it is considered one of the finest mid-19th century residences in the area and a distinctive example of local boarding house architecture. A tourist home sign from that era can still be seen near the road.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate and Carpenter Gothic","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition is rated fair; the house is still used as a residence, as it was originally.
