This form, once common in northern New England, is only known to survive in one other building in Maine, the Burnham Tavern.

The interior has a typical center-chimney plan, with a narrow vestibule and winding stair at the front.

The public rooms of the house feature high-quality Georgian carved paneling, which is believed to have been brought over from England.

The dig occurred prior to work beginning on repairing the drainage system.

The drainage problem, which funnels water into the basement, creates a significant amount of moisture and poses a threat to the rest of the house.
