Built in 1898, it is a significant local example of Colonial Revival architecture, and is one of the oldest houses in the city's Richmond Heights neighborhood.

[1] The George Gabriel House is located in the residential Richmond Heights area northwest of downtown Worcester, on the west side of Lenox Street near its northern end.

The house has a generally rectangular plan, with a front porch supported by Ionic columns.

The building corners feature Corinthian pilasters, and the main roof has a cornice with dentil moulding.

The house is one of the earliest, and finest, houses in the city's Richmond Heights neighborhood, and exemplifies an ongoing trend of the city's upper class to live on its west side.
