It was owned by the same family for over 200 years, and its interior includes stencilwork that may have been made by Moses Eaton Jr., an itinerant artist of the 19th century.

The property also includes a barn, located on the other side of Tinker Road, which is of great antiquity.

The house is a 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior.

The main facade is five bays wide, with slightly asymmetrical placement of paired sash windows on either side of a nearly-centered entrance.

The entrance is topped by a four-light transom window, and sheltered by a portico with a low-pitch gable roof.
