It is a two-story wood frame house, built in 1917 for Anton Karpen, the owner of a local lumberyard.

The house is an excellent local example of Craftsman styling, with extended eaves showing exposed rafters, bands of windows, the use of colored glass, and a built-in fieldstone fireplace.

The house was later owned by Lewis Bicknell, a prominent local attorney.
