Built in 1818, it is a fine local example of Federal period architecture, and is further notable for several of its occupants, who include the Chief Justice of the United States Melville Fuller.

It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof, clapboard siding, and granite foundation.

It has a five-bay main facade, with a center entrance flanked by sidelight windows and pilasters, and topped by a Federal style louvered fan.

Fuller sold the house in 1827 to Nathan Weston, who had just been appointed to the Maine Supreme Judicial Court, and became its chief justice in 1834.
