Developed in the mid-19th century, it resembles a typical detached Vermont hillside farm complex, a contrast to the farms found further south on the valley floor of Otter Creek in southern Wallingford.

[1] The Homer Waldo Farm stands on the west side of Waldo Lane, a former alignment of Wallingford's main north-south road (now bypassed by the current alignment of United States Route 7), just south of Wallingford's village center and across Otter Creek.

The house is a 1-1/2 story frame building, that is basically vernacular in style, with ornamentation limited to a transom panel, architrave and cornice, set above the entrance.

The modest styling is in contrast to some of the more elaborate farmhouses found further south in the Otter River valley.

Its first documented owner was Alfred Hull, who sold the farm to Homer Waldo in 1866.
