The oldest section of this building, the ell that faces Court Square, was built in the early 1800's and served as a stage coach stop. By 1833 it was in use as a hotel, and it was used to house victims of the cholera epidemic. The oldest section is colonial style, with small windows, a low ceiling, and a large fireplace used for cooking. Its brick is laid in a Fleming Bond pattern. The rest of the house is early Victorian style, with large rooms and windows and extensive woodwork. The sidewalk is original brick in a herringbone pattern, and the remains of the original stables are buried under a building just around the corner on W. Main Street.
