Built in 1874–75, it is one of a small number of works of Bangor native George W. Orff to survive in the state, and is one of its finest examples of Second Empire architecture.

[1] The Veazie House is set on the west side of Fountain Street, in a residential area north of Bangor's central business district.

A 2+1⁄2-story tower, topped by a mansard roof with iron cresting, projects from the center of the south-facing facade.

The corners of the house have paneled pilasters, and the main roof's cornice is irregularly studded with brackets.

The building is one of eighteen known designs in Maine by Bangor native George W. Orff, who was trained in Boston and spent many years working in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
