The former home of the large landowner who subdivided his land for the section of Suffolk known as Up Town, this weatherboarded frame house is one of the few early buildings to survive. Federal in style with a Tidewater type of three-bay, side-passage plan, the building sits on a raised basement. A kitchen ell is on the south side. The portico is well executed with fluted Doric columns and pilasters protecting a simple fanlight entrance.
