The property description, per the NRHP nomination form: The Amos Morse house is situated in rural North Foxboro on a partially wooded three-acre site.

Essentially intact, the house retains the integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, and association.

The Amos Morse House thus fulfills Criteria A and C of the National Register of Historic Places on the local level.

The house is of wood frame construction, with a clapboard exterior, and rests on a cut granite and fieldstone foundation.

The five-bay symmetrical facade of the main block is trimmed with plain corner boards and molded cornices.

The central entrance has the most important ornamentation on the house and appears to be original: pilasters frame the doorway with a pediment above, and the six-panel door has lights in the top two panels.

Simple architrave moldings and window frames enclose double-hung 6/6 sash both on the main elevation and elsewhere throughout the house.

It is set into a low rise and rests on a foundation of cut granite.The house was accepted on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
