Built about 1830 for a local factory owner and moved to its present site in 1978, it is a prominent example of high-style Greek Revival architecture with a temple front, possibly designed by the firm of Ithiel Town.

[1] The Charles Daniels House stands in a rural-residential setting about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) west of Chester's village green, on the south side of Liberty Street.

It is a 1+1⁄2-story Greek Revival structure, five bays wide, with a hip-roofed portico supported by paired Doric columns.

The interior is organized around a central stair hall, with a double parlor to the west and a dining room and library to the east.

[2] The house, built (probably in the late 1820s) for Charles Daniels, owner of a nearby gimlet factory, is an excellent example of Greek Revival domestic architecture.
