The main plantation house is a brick two story building constructed in 1800 by Thomas Tinsley, one of six generations of that name.

The main block is three bays wide, with a broad hall across the front and two rooms behind.

Additions in 1820 and 1840 added single story ells to the east side of the house.

The property includes a cluster of early 20th century farm outbuildings, and probably contains archaeological remnants of its 19th-century structures.
