Built in 1796, it is one of Vermont's finest examples late Georgian/early Federal period architecture.

[1] The General Samuel Strong House stands on the north side of West Main Street, west of downtown Vergennes and just north of the road's junction with Panton Road.

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

The street-facing southern main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance flanked by pilasters and topped by a half-round transom window and gabled pediment.

The east-facing secondary facade is less elaborate than the main one, with its entrance sheltered by a gabled porch.
