Built about 1866–67, it is a fine example of the "Bangor style" of Second Empire architecture, notable as the last known work of architect Benjamin S. Deane, and as the home of Edward Connors, operator of Bangor's log boom and the city's wealthiest Irish-American.

It is a rambling three-story wood-frame structure, with a mansard roof that has a flared eave, and matchboard siding treated to resemble stone.

At the center of the north-facing front is a broad bellcast dormer, emulating the curve of the mansard roof flare.

[2] It was built about 1866-67 for Edward Connors, an Irishman who apparently inherited a fortune through his wife, and was the owner and operator of Bangor's log boom, a critical element of the town's booming lumber-based economy of the time.

The house was designed by local architect Benjamin S. Deane, and is his last known work.
