It was sold into private ownership in 1924, and is a good local example of vernacular Colonial Revival architecture.

The house is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof and clapboarded exterior.

A single-story hip-roofed porch extends across the front, with a shingled skirt and round posts.

The interior retains a number of original finishes, including hardwood floors, trim elements, plaster walls, and a French door in the downstairs unit.

[2] The house was built in 1909, after a fire swept through Richford in 1907, destroying part of its downtown and the Sweat-Comings factory complex, located between Powell Street and the Missisquoi River.
