the main house is a -story, 11-bay clapboard structure of varied fenestration and form, reflecting considerable work and expansion in the first century of its existence. there are three entrances in the main facade, two with 19th-century panelled doors and the other with a vertical plank door and strap hinges. the main entrance has a shed-roofed porch. large chimneys rise from the roof and two one-story wings project from the rear of the house. a small porch has also been built at the east end of the house, screened from sight by surrounding vegetation.
