The Greek Revival style plantation house was built about 1814 and remodeled about 1850. It is a two-story, L-shaped, heavy timber frame building. It has a low hipped roof and is sheathed in clapboards. The front portico was removed in the 1960s or early 1970s. Also on the property is a contributing mid-19th century gable-roofed frame smokehouse.
