It was constructed in 1848 by Thomas Barron, and is a distinct example of vernacular, Greek Revival style, cobblestone domestic architecture.

The house consists of a two-story main block flanked by 1+1⁄2-story wings.

The exterior walls are built of oval-shaped, red sandstone lake-washed cobbles.

The main block features a pedimented portico supported by four large fluted columns of the Ionic order.
