Built c. 1809, this frame house is a good vernacular example of Federal architecture, but is most notable for the murals painted on the walls of one of its bedrooms by Rufus Porter and Jonathan Poor, noted itinerant painters of the 19th century.

The secondary entry is on the southwest side, facing Stuart Street, and is centered on a three-bay facade.

The house's southwestern gable features a round-arch window and paired brackets, later Italianate additions.

The house's most notable feature is a room in which murals were drawn in 1830 by the itinerant artist (among many other professions he engaged in) Rufus Porter and Jonathan Poor.

This mural is a landscape work, featuring richly colored trees, and is extremely well preserved.
