It has a central, projecting 2 1⁄2-story, three-bay-wide section flanked by 1 1⁄2-story, single-bay wings connected by hyphens. The front facade features a single-story dwarf portico, supported by Doric order columns. From 1798 to 1815 the house served as the residence and school of Thomas Jefferson's ward and nephew, Peter Carr.
