It is a vernacular, 2 1/2 story log, frame, stone and brick structure dating from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The earliest section was built in the 1790s, and is a three-bay wooden structure consisting of two log pens with a frame connector, or dogtrot, and covered with weatherboards. A two-story, two-bay, stone and brick addition was built about 1820. Also on the property is a contributing stone smokehouse.[3]
