The 17-acre (6.9 ha) estate is notable for its house, designed by architect Alan McCullough and built in 1951, and its landscaping, designed by Charles Freeman Gillette. The house is a two story brick structure, built out of custom bricks laid in Old English Bond and mortared using rough edging mortar.
