The smokehouse, which was used to cure and hold the farm's meat supply, is well-preserved compared to other surviving contemporary smokehouses in northeastern Illinois.

Its functional design uses the then-popular Greek Revival style and includes brick detailing below the roof line.

The smokehouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 20, 1990.
