It was built sometime between 1893 and 1910 to serve as the home and office Doctor Bailey, a prominent local physician.

The 2+1⁄2-story house is one of the most elaborate examples of Queen Anne/Colonial Revival architecture in central Ipswich.

Roughly rectangular in plan, a veranda embellished with Colonial Revival details wraps around the north and west sides of the house.

The central portion of the front is a protruding bay that also rises up through the bottom of the roof and is topped by a turret shaped gable extension.
