It follows the Greek Revival style, with a rectangular plan, a symmetrical three-bay front, a center entrance with side lights, broad corner pilasters, gable-end chimneys and six-over-six windows. In the mid-nineteenth century the house received Picturesque touches, including a steep-gabled entrance vestibule, flanking porches and widened, braced eaves. Inside, plaster walls, original architraves, arches, mantles, paneling, doors, wide plank floors and period hardware survive. A rear wing may incorporate an earlier dwelling, and a brick smokehouse of about 1830 stands behind the house.
