Built c. 1724 by Richard Hazen, It is a rare example of a brick house of the time, and notable for its role in early 20th century restoration activities.

The 2+1⁄2-story building is made of brick laid in English bond, with end chimneys and a central hall layout.

The house was acquired in 1911 by early preservationist William Taylor, who took notes detailing the buildings First Period features.

In 1915 Taylor sold the house to Wallace Nutting, who undertook a "restoration" that covered over some of those features and may have destroyed others.
