It is a rare surviving farmhouse in the town with 18th century origins, with its oldest elements dating to c. 1762.

The ell appears to date from near the house's original construction, and the chimney is slightly off-center, indicating the house may have been built in stages.

The front door is sheltered by an elaborate Italianate portico that is a c. 1870s modification.
