Its interior and exterior finish details are in good condition. The house is most notable the murals by Rufus Porter that are drawn on its walls. Porter, at the time an itinerant painter, probably executed them between 1825 and 1830, and they are the only known example of his work in the area. The murals depict countryside scenes and views of harbors.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
