It is located at 607 Ouachita County Road 65, near the community of Frenchport.

The 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built c. 1899 by John Burkett, a ship's captain and part-owner of a local lumber mill.

He later served as the chief warden at Cummins Prison, and then as a regional agent of the Internal Revenue Service.

Its front facade has a porch running across its whole width, mounted on piers made of locally manufactured bricks, with its hip-roof supported by concrete columns that resemble Tuscan-style columns.
