The seven houses are all nearly identical free-standing 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structures, with front-facing gabled roofs and clapboarded exteriors.

Each has a single-story hip-roof porch extending across the front, supported by bracketed Victorian turned posts, with square balusters.

The two houses at the eastern end of the row each have a small carriage barn attached to the rear of the ell.

Lind had come to the United States from Germany in the 1851, and was known for his support of the working and living conditions of immigrants.

Lind died in 1909, and ownership of the houses was taken over by the owners of the South Ryegate Granite Works.
