The Kimball-Wooster House is built of red brick in the Federal style with stepped parapet gables. Each gable contains a large elliptical window. Built in 1832, the five-bay facade features a one-story porch with four Ionic columns. Two slender Ionic columns frame the doorway, along with a convex entablature and a rectangular transom light. The house is privately owned.
