The barn is a 40 feet (12 m) by 60 feet (18 m) timber-frame building built in 1888. It was built to house horses being raised for fire and police departments of the Pacific Northwest. Its ornamented cupolas were assessed to be the finest in Linn County.[2]
The farmhouse has Gothic Revival features and was built in c.1864 by Joseph Lame and was enlarged in c.1884 for the J.A. Smith family. This property is mainly constructed of timber. Also on the property are an automobile garage (1994), a wood-frame pump house (1940s), and metal equipment shed (1960s). To the west of the house, in 1998, was a very large Black walnut tree, likely the largest in Linn County.[2]
In 1998 the nearby fields were being used to grow grass seed.[2]
