Built about 1751, it is a well-preserved example of a Portsmouth gambrel-roofed double house, and has been home to a number of prominent individuals.

Now housing residential condominiums, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

A "Portsmouth double house", it is five bays wide and two deep, with additions on either side, and an ell to the rear.

The main entrance is at the center of the facade, topped by a rounded pediment and flanked by pilasters.

The building was converted into condominiums in 1983, at which time the doorways were reconfigured, removing one in the left projection.
