It is a large wood-frame building with wood-shingle sheathing, broad gable roof, wraparound porch, and rear wings. The main section includes a two-story, three-bay side-entrance-hall dwelling which was enlarged to four bays with a wide two-story, one-bay addition. Also on the property is a small wood-frame shed.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
The house is owned by the Shelter Island Historical Society and operated as a historic house museum.
