The 2+1⁄2-story brick structure was built in 1874 for Franklin Wesson, one of the founders of Harrington & Richardson, a major Worcester arms manufacturer.

It is roughly rectangular in form, but has a number of protrusions, most notably a three-story tower over its entrance that is capped by a steeply pitched slate hip roof.

The windows of the house are predominantly narrower with rounded tops, and there are horizontal bands of decorative brickwork at several levels.
