The main block of the 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built in three stages, most likely over the course of the second half of the 18th century.

That block is connected to a 19th-century barn (post-1860) via a long single-story ell.

The property is significant as one of the major farmsteads of south Chelmsford of the 18th and 19th centuries.

It is also distinctive as a rare 18th-century farm that was owned by a woman, Sarah Hildreth.
