Its main entrance is centered on the street-facing facade, with flanking sidelight windows. The house, built 1738,^[1] is one of the few 18th-century houses remaining in the town. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

The French Army commandeered by Marquis de Lafayette ^[2] is known to have camped in the area during the American Revolutionary War in 1781 and 1782, due in part to the notoriously steep hill.
