 The house and accompanying barn are set close to the street, the house sheltered from the road by a fringe of trees.The main house is a -story wood-frame structure, five symmetrically placed bays in width, with a side-gable roof and a large central chimney.The western portion of the structure, a three-bay two-story section that is one room deep, may have been built around 1670 by Joseph Morse, the son of one of Sherborn's first land grant recipients.
