The district contains seven contributing buildings, one contributing site, and seven contributing structures. They are set on a property assembled between 1784 and 1945. The oldest structure is a barn dated to the late 18th century. A number of the outbuildings date to the 1830s and include barns, a granary, brick smokehouse, and sugar house. The farmhouse dates to 1853 and was constructed on the foundation of the 18th-century house. Dated to the early 20th century are a storage shed, machine shed, well house, and additions and renovations to older buildings.[2] The property has been adapted for use as a bird sanctuary.
