[2][5] The house and surrounding 9 acres (3.6 ha) were added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 31, 1972.

[1] As the area was still being converted from a frontier, there was no sawed lumber or ready-made brick available when Bibb set out to build the house.

[7] The two-story brick structure features exterior walls that are 3 feet (0.91 m) thick, laid in Flemish bond.

The portico shelters the main front entrance with its delicate fanlight and sidelights in the central bay.

An original one-story, semi-detached brick service wing with three rooms is located towards the rear of the house, on the south side.

[6] The interior of the house features Federal-style woodwork, Adam-style fireplace mantels, and a spiral primary stairway.
