The house was built in 1877 or 1878 for G. J. George, a Civil War veteran and local lawyer.

Local architect George Chittenden designed the two-story brick house in the Italianate style.

The house's tall, rectangular windows are topped by brick arches.

A bracketed and dentillated cornice runs along the house's roof line.
