It was built about 1838, and is a two-story, three-bay, frame Federal-style dwelling with a hall-and-parlor plan.

The buildings are sheathed in heart pine weatherboard, and most rooms retain their original lathe and plaster finishing.

The plantation cemetery is on the property and contains the remains of persons who have lived at Pineview, slave and free.

The main house and outbuildings were restored and stabilized in 2010 by Lambeth Construction with the assistance and input of the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources' office in Greenville, NC.
