[1] The house is located near the front of a 10-acre (4 ha) lot along a residential section of Roe Avenue opposite Woodside Lane, just outside the Cornwall-on-Hudson village line.

Its most notable features in the house are the woodwork: the oak staircase, landing, wainscoting and corner fireplaces.

Mead and Taft, a local firm also responsible for other summer houses in Cornwall like Cherry Croft, was the architect.

Scribners' heirs sold the property in the 1960s, and the estate was gradually subdivided until only the current ten acres were left.
