Built in 1812, it is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a large central chimney.

The center entry is framed by a Greek Revival surround that was a later alteration, and there is a shed-roof porch extending along the southern (left) facade.

It was purchased, along with a number of farm outbuildings, by Amos Cook in 1865, and was converted into a summer residence in the early 20th century.

[2] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
