It stands on a 6.4-acre lot in a sparsely settled residential area on the village's eastern edge. The asymmetrical structure has a low-pitched hipped roof with broad projecting eaves, topped by a prominent cupola. Windows have double sash and miter-arched drip molds, and one-story porches span parts of the west and south sides. Inside, the center hall doorways have architrave moldings, and the rooms retain ornate plaster ceiling moldings and rounded-arch marble fireplaces. A gambrel-roof barn clad in clapboard also survives. The house is valued for its masonry construction and high degree of original integrity, which make it one of the more elegant Italianate dwellings in a village of many. It is also tied to two prominent citizens: Campbell, who became Lieutenant-Governor of New York in 1858, and Judge David Rumsey, who acquired the property around 1870.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Architect unknown; builder Robert Campbell, Jr.","architectural_style":"Italianate","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed in fair condition, with the original site intact.
