The central section and east wing are of wood-frame construction, covered with cedar wood shingles, and rest on a fieldstone foundation. The 2-story stone west wing was built between 1853 and 1855. The house features three divided Dutch doors.
In 1965, the house was deeded to the New York chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution.
