In 1817 a brick three-bay two-story central passage plan house was built.

[2] It was deemed "a notable example of an early 19th century brick residence" and is one of the oldest homes in the city limits of Elizabethtown.

William Bush amassed a large farm in the early 1800s and in 1817 he had the original three bay brick section of this home constructed which is one of the oldest within the city limits of Elizabethtown.

These additions were carefully constructed with corbelled brick at the cornice and windows and door openings to match those on the original structure.

Since the early 1800s modern additions have been confined to the rear of the house and it displays its original 19th century character.
