It has a Greek Revival entrance, flanked by sidelight windows and pilasters and topped by an entablature.

The house was built in 1834 by Davis Mills, member of one of Needham's major landowning families at the time.

Mills was a butcher, tavernkeeper, and politically active citizen.

The junction where his house is located, Central Avenue and Nehoiden Street, was Needham's town center until the 19th century.
