Description and history

The house is a two-story stone building with a slate gable roof. The facade on the south has three bays with the door in the center bay. The original house was {{Convert|40|by|22|ft}}. The native sandstone used in construction is dressed and shows numerous tooling marks. The west gable end of the building show evidence an addition might have been attached there. This is supported by early tax records describing a "stone and brick" house. The interior retains much of the original design with an open two run stairway off a central hall. The stairway has a plain railing and delicate square balusters. Original woodwork including window and door molding and chair rails is largely intact. Built in 1836 the house was placed on the National Register on March 11, 1980.
