[1] The Pumpelly Studio is located in a rural setting southwest of Dublin village, on the west side of Snow Hill Road.

It is a single-story structure, built out of steel and concrete, with a stucco finish and tiled hip roof.

[2] The studio was designed by Walter Atherton and Margarita "Daisy" Pumpelly Smyth and built in 1912.

Notable visitors to the Pumpelly estate included dancer Martha Graham, who summered there in 1924, teaching dance classes in the studio.

A stylistically compatible cinder-block addition was made to the studio in 1961, designed by Pumpelly's grandson Thomas Handasyd Cabot Jr.[2]
