[2] The Burton Store is one of two buildings in the district constructed in the Colonial Revival style, the other being the nearby Borcher's Stable, located at 2 Oak Tree Road just beyond The Old 76 House.

[citation needed] This was the last building phase during the period of significance in the early twentieth century as recognized by the Tappan Historic District.

The Burton Store is described by Alicia A. Jettner in the National Register of Historic Places as follows: "This is a large one-story flat-roofed building with narrow clapboard siding and details in the Colonial Revival mode.

The dropped cornice has a denticulated frieze with triglyphs similar to those of the mid-1830 buildings in the district.

It was originally called "The Apartment House" and stood approximately one block west of its present location.
