Built in 1855, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 23, 1972.

A single wood-frame ell extends to the rear of the house, toward the river, where it is joined to a barn that appears to be 5/8 of an octagon.

The main block is covered by an eight-sided roof with an octagonal cupola at its center, with extended eaves adorned with modillions.

The main entrance faces the street, and is sheltered by a porch supported by four chamfered square posts and covered by a modillioned roof.

It was built for George Scott, a Wiscasset native and successful ship's captain.
