The 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built in 1846 by William Hyde, and is the only house in Cambridge's Cambridgeport neighborhood with a two-story Greek portico.

It has four full-height Doric columns, with a gable end that is steeper than the usual Greek Revival style.

It has a side-entry plan, with the entrance flanked by pilasters and topped by a pedimented lintel.
