The 1+1⁄2-story Cape style house was built in 1800 by Ezra Carpenter, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War.

Later generations of Carpenters also played significant roles in the civic life of the town.

The main block of the house is five bays wide, with a centered entry, and an original central chimney.
