Located on the southern side of the city of Sidney, the farm is composed of five buildings spread out over an area of approximately 2 acres (0.81 ha).

Besides the farmhouse, the complex includes four less important buildings, two brick and two wooden: a smokehouse, a carriage house, and two smaller barns.

[2] Prominent farmer Isaac Fulton built the one-and-one-half story farmhouse and other buildings for his wife, the former Jane Taylor, soon after their 1848 wedding.

Fulton used an unusual floor plan; the house's footprint is asymmetrical, and its windows are a mix of trabeated and traditional Gothic Revival styles.

[1] It qualified for inclusion on the Register because of its impact on two different areas of local history:[3] its well-preserved historic architecture and its place in the development of agriculture in central Shelby County.
