The two-story center hall brick house has two rooms on one side of the hall, and one the full depth of the house on the other. The house is set on a rubble stone foundation. Unusually, it has north-facing windows on the gable end occupied by the large room. A 1+1⁄2-story kitchen was added in the 19th century. Three porches are also additions.[2][3]
The stone bank barn is a major notable structure, built of the same stone rubble as the house's foundation.[2]
