Exterior	The exterior of this house shows three periods of development. From the records the first structure built between 1700 and 1720 was a two-story four room peaked roof house with central chimney. Around the Revolutionary War, the house was made larger, with more elaborate features. Around 1800 the present stone cap was added at the chimney, also ells at the rear of the house. The window casements date back to the Revolutionary period. A curious piazza is on the south side, with two story square columns about 1800.
Doorway	The doors date back to the Revolutionary period. The two doors have fine wrought iron latches and knockers; at the front door are wide sidelights above which is a gabled roofed porch; both features are of a later period.
Interior	The interior of this old house is beautifully paneled in all front rooms. At the fireplace walls, the wainscoting also is paneled. Originally the interior was finished in whitewash. About the period of the Revolutionary War, the walls were paneled and ceilings plastered and the house made larger. The front rooms still retain thier summer beams, corner posts, and girts project into the room.
