Built of loccal granite, this 2.5 story house is built of stone and frame in a vernacular style. The front facade, which faces west, is four bays wide. The southern, granite, half has windows of 9/6 sash on the first floor and 6/6 sash on the second floor. Splayed granite arches appear above each window. the first floor of this half of the house is covered by a wrap around porch on square columns, which continues around the north side of the house, where it is partially enclosed.

The north facade of the house consists of the gable wend of the frame half of the house, as well as a stone rear wing with a frame addition to the end of it. The north gable end of the mainblock is two bays wide, and contains pne very tall, large window in the eastern most bay of the first floor. The side of the house also has two small windows in the attic. There is an interior brick chimney in this end of the gable roof.

The South facade consists of two first-floor 9/6 sash windows with the same splayed granite arches, and two small windows in the attic, flanking a flush chimney. There is a 1-story porch in the L formed by the wing and the east facade of the main block.

The interior is arranged in a center-hall plan, with the center hall flanked by sitting rooms. The rear wing contains a dining room and kitchen on this level. on the second floor, there are four bedrooms (this no longer applies), with a fifth bedroom made into a bathroom. The house has a full attic. The stair treads are chestnut, with carved step-ends and square spindles. There is also a stairway to the attic. Flooring is original, with 10-13 inch pine plank flooring.

Originally a farm of several hundred acres, the property is shown as being owned by J.F.C. Worthington on the 1877 atlas. Jesuits from Woodstock College are thought to have made the house a stopping-off place on their way to Pikesville.
