Built in 1887, it is a distinctive local example of Shingle style architecture, and was the centerpiece of the large country estate of industrialist Louis Cabot.

The primary facade is oriented facing south, with views toward Mount Monadnock.

It is fronted by a shed-roof porch, and has a large gabled dormer projecting from the roof face.

The main entrance is on the west side, sheltered by a portico with an arched valance.

This house was built the following year, and became the centerpiece of a gentleman farmer's estate of some 2,000 acres (810 ha).
