Screened from the front by bushes, trees, and a stone wall, and on the east by a cedar paling fence, the house is very secluded.

A two-story gambrel-roofed wing on the west, a two-car garage on the north, and a large nineteenth-century barn south of the house complete the estate.

[2] This house was the home of Nehemiah Hubbard, a prominent banker and merchant of late eighteenth-century Middletown.

The land, part of an original 226-acre (91 ha) tract, belonged to the Hubbard family, noted early settlers of the town, for a number of generations.

Although the house was some distance from the commercial section of Middletown, Hubbard used the property as a home and for extensive farming operations.
