The farmhouse was built about 1848 and is a massive 2+12-story, five-bay, center hall building decorated with elements associated with the Greek Revival style. The cobblestone house is built of small, reddish lake washed cobbles. The farmhouse is among the nine surviving cobblestone buildings in Yates County.
