This modest frame dwelling is composed of a one-and-a-half-story, fivebay front block and a two-part ell. The symmetrically composed facade has a central entrance with a Greek Revival style doorway and flanking six-oversix windows. Its broad overhanging eaves are unormented and the corners are finished with narrow boards. Two chimneys punctuate the main roof behind the ridge. A short low connector links the house to its larger ell whiCh appears to be a later addition. Its features include wall dormers on the north side with exposed truss ornamentation in the dormer peaks.
The 1861 map shows that E. Nugent, a Baptist minister, was residing here. By 1881 local merchant Peter smith had acquired 'the property. His general mercantile firm was established in 1858, and his store building (16) still stands.
