It is topped by a gabled standing seam metal roof. A frame two-story ell was added in 1898 and a one-story, glass-enclosed porch in 1978. The front facade features a one-story, tetrastyle porch. Also on the property are the contributing massive frame barn and 19th century frame shed.[3] It is located in the Heathsville Historic District. The house was owned for a time by C.
