The two story wood-frame house was built c. 1870, probably by J. K. Moore, a local cabinet maker.

It is one of the finest Second Empire structures in the Winter Hill area of the city.

The mansard roof is pierced by numerous gabled and pedimented dormers, the cornice is lined with dentil molding and studded with brackets, and the house corners have quoins designed to resemble stonework.

[2] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
