The 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built in 1840 by Oliver Hastings.

It retained a traditional entry centered on the long side of the house, while it was oriented with its gable to the street in the Greek Revival style.

A two-story ell at the rear of the house is probably original, and the house was further extended with a single story addition on its east side.
