The Verbeck House is located on Church Street (NY 50) just south of downtown Ballston Spa, New York, United States.

[1] It is a two-and-a-half-story, four-by-six-bay house on a stone foundation, mostly sided in narrow clapboard with bands and panels emphasizing the structural supports.

It opens onto a central hall, decorated with early Art Nouveau style wallpaper in an embossed floral pattern, running nearly the length of the house, giving access to parlors and other rooms paneled in cherry.

The house also has rare chandeliers that can support either gas or electric lights, functional steam radiators and an intact butler's pantry.

It was one of the last houses built by Cummings, an architect known primarily for his commercial buildings in downtown Troy, before he retired in 1891.

[1] In 1989, the museum obtained a $46,000 state grant to restore the house,[3] repainting it in the original colors, ascertained through paint chip analysis.

[5] A covenant in the deed by which the Verbecks donated the house provided that if it were not used as a museum, ownership would revert to the family.
