This rambling building has served as a tavern, a bank, a bar, and a residence. The Federal brick section (c. 1820) with stuccoed jack arches over its windows has a one-story shed porch that is overshadowed by the one on its late-nineteenth-century frame ell, a lacy, two-story porch with scroll-sawn woodwork, balusters, and curvilinear brackets.
