Built about 1835, it is one of a cluster of plank-frame houses in the rural community, which at one time had an unusually fine Greek Revival entry surround.

[1] The Garber House stands on more than 56 acres (23 ha) in rural southern Goshen, on the west side of Lempster Coach Road, about 0.25 miles (0.40 km) south of its junction with New Hampshire Route 31.

It is a 1+1⁄2-story wooden structure, with a gabled roof, clapboarded exterior, and central chimney.

An ell, possibly once a small barn, extends to the west of the main block at a recess, with a covered porch in front.

Its sophisticated Greek Revival entry surround was one of just two identified in the town during an architectural survey performed in the 1980s (the other is the Burford House).
