Built in 1866 for the owner of a local lumber mill, it is a well-preserved example of Italianate architecture, including significant elements on the main house and the surviving outbuildings.

The estate, now home to a private elementary day school, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.

The house is 2+1⁄2 stories in height, with a hip roof topped by an elaborate square belvidere.

A porch wraps around two sides of the main block, supported by chamfered square posts with brackets at their tops, and with spindled balustrades.

[2] Riverside was built in 1866 for Dudley P. Hall, one of the principal owners of a lumber mill located just south of the property, on the banks of the Passumpsic River.
