McKim, Mead and (Sanford) White were the architects of this property, which originally had 41 acres, including a small farm and extensive orchards.

It features a broad hipped roof, deep overhanging eaves, and prominent brick chimneys.

The graciously appointed house reflects the style of its original era, complete with library, tea room, and period lighting fixtures.

The residence has hosted notable speakers on its stage, including Eleanor Roosevelt, Helen Keller, Tallulah Bankhead, Carl Sandburg, David McCullough, and Admiral Richard Byrd.

"[citation needed] Because the Woman's Club was a unique and integral part of its community, and because of its exceptionally well-preserved architecture, the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.
