Built about 1843, by the efforts of a prosperous local farmer, it is a remarkably sophisticated expression of Greek Revival architecture for a rural setting.

The house consists of a main block and two substantial ells, and there is also a 19th-century barn on the property, facing Bolger Road.

The main facade is three bays wide, with corner pilasters rising to an entablature and fully pedimented gable.

Built about 1770 and attached to the house around 1870, it is 1+1⁄2 stories in height, with corner pilasters, and a shed-roof porch extending across its front.

About 1870, Kidder added the right (or southerly) ell, a former "tenement house" or tavern built about 1770 that was adjacent to the property, in order to accommodate a growing family.
