[1] The Paul Gibbs House stands in a rural area of northwestern Framingham, on the north side of Edmands Road, between Pine Hill and Nixon Roads.

It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a low-pitch hip roof and mostly clapboarded exterior.

[2] The house was probably designed by architect Alexander Rice Esty, and built c. 1860 for Paul Gibbs.

The attribution to Esty is based on surviving architectural elements that are similar to other documented works of his in Framingham.

It is the last surviving house of a series of Gibbs family homes built in the area.
