The farmstead consists of 464 acres (188 ha), but only 20 acres (8.1 ha) are considered to be part of this Historic Register nomination. In 1974, the farmstead was recognized as a "Century Farm", having been owned and operated by the same family for 100 years. Denver Downs Farmstead was listed in the National Register March 7, 2007.[1]
The main house is a large Colonial Revival farmhouse with white clapboard siding, a metal roof and a wraparound porch. The farmstead is bordered on one side by the Clemson Highway, but it is possible to view the farm from one of the public roads that cut through the property.
