Built in 1829, it is a prominent local example of a stone building with Federal and Greek Revival features, and served as a traveler accommodation until the early 1970s.

It presents formal facades to both roads, with its main roof gable set parallel to South Street.

The gable above the porch has modillion blocks in the eaves, and a Federal style fan at the center of the pediment.

The facade facing South Street is five bays, with a center entrance flanked by sidelight windows and sheltered by a gabled porch with a similar valance and turned posts.

It is set on a historically major travel route between Burlington and points in Canada, and in the later 19th century served tourists and people taking the cures of local mineral springs.
