H. Hubbard for W. H. Dorrance, a leading local hardware and agricultural equipment merchant. The house has complex massing, with intersecting gable roofs, projecting bays, a circular corner tower with a conical roof, and a wraparound porch with ornate brackets. Clapboard siding is broken by bands of scalloped shingles, and a round-arched porte-cochere stands on the east side.
