Built in 1772–74, it is one of the finest examples of a brick Georgian house in the Mid-Atlantic states.

It is a 2+1⁄2-story brick building, with hipped roof whose truncated center is surrounded by a low balustrade.

The main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance topped by a projecting Doric gabled transom.

[4] Corbit had business connections with Philadelphia, which probably contributed to the high quality style and workmanship found in his house.

Furnished for the late 18th century period, the house is one of five historic properties that can be toured.
