The two-and-a-half-story frame house has weatherboard siding, a hip roof with jigsawn brackets, a wraparound porch with Doric columns, an octagonal turret with a bellcast roof, a semicircular bay window, and an inset balcony with turned balusters. The two-story frame barn has a gable roof, shingled gable ends, and a projecting entry bay with a keystone arch. E.W. Kirkpatrick, a Confederate veteran who bought land near McKinney as early as 1872, established a nursery on the grounds in 1887 and kept a pecan orchard there. He was a principal financial backer of the Collin County Mill and Elevator Co. and died in 1924.
