Built in 1887, it is a prominent local work of architect Stanford White, and has served as a cultural center in the community since its construction, despite being moved in 1928.

Now a part of the grounds of the Berkshire Theatre Festival, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

The roof is capped by a cupola, mounted in eight small round columns which are surrounded by a low balustrade.

The main facade has a projecting two-story center section, composed of three bays articulated by engaged round columns.

Together with sculptor Daniel Chester French and Dr. Austen Fox Riggs,[4] he founded the Three Arts Society, which purchased the building and moved it to its current location.
