Built about 1850, it is one of a cluster of plank-frame houses in Goshen, and is unusual in that group for its use of thinner planking.

It is a 1+1⁄2-story Cape-style wooden structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior.

It is 53 feet (16 m) wide, with a seven-bay facade, with a 20th-century entry one bay left of center.

A 20th-century two-car garage is attached to the left side at a recess, and the property also includes a horse barn.
