It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house, five bays wide, with twin interior chimneys and a typical Federal period center-hall plan.

It was built in 1815, and was originally located on Massachusetts Avenue, then a relatively rural area.

It was relocated to its present site in 1889, when Massachusetts Avenue became a desirable location to build larger, more fashionable houses, after the arrival of public transit.
