Built in 1785 and substantially remodeled about 1830, it is a fine local example of a rural Federal period farmhouse with Greek Revival features.

[1] The Prince House stands in far western Yarmouth, on the northeast side of Greely Road, just north of Maxfield Brook.

The main facade is five bays wide, with a central entrance that is framed by sidelight windows and pilasters, with an elliptical fanlight above.

Woodwork on the interior is a mix of Greek Revival and Federal styles, with a particularly fine fireplace mantel surround in the parlor.

The house appears to have had extensive work done in the early 1830s, when its tax valuation rose, even though the amount land declined by 40 acres (16 ha).
