Built in 1835, it is the largest known 19th-century rowhouse in the state, and is a local example of Greek Revival architecture.

It consists of fourteen residential units, built out of brick with brownstone trim, and resting on granite foundations.

[2] The rowhouse concept was introduced to Portland by John Neal, who is better remembered as a writer and critic, but was also an architect.

[5] That same year the company purchased a ropewalk extending nearly to Congress Street, and began construction on these rowhouses.

Due to the Panic of 1837, the company was only able to complete the building exteriors, and they were auctioned off, unfinished, between October 1835 and 1838.
