The building's five-bay facade and gambrel roof form an early part of the effort by Sturgis to popularize the Georgian Revival.

Its original main facade oriented to the north, a new south-facing entry was designed in 1902 by Lois Lilley Howe, featuring a broken scrolled pediment above the porch.

The house was purchased by Samuel Atkins Eliot in that same year.
