It includes four contributing buildings, five contributing structures, and a contributing site.^[1] It is a wildlife preserve.

It has a 1912 dwelling, the "Dickey-Komarek House", which includes Classical Revival architectural details, and is a frame one-and-a-half-story building built in 1912 by expanding upon a mid-1800s dogtrot house. It has an 1858 barn and outbuildings built in the 1900s.^[2]
