It was built about 1790, and is a -story, frame building with a central chimney in the New England style.  A rear addition and full-width front porch were added in the mid-19th century. The house has since been restored to its appearance in the 1790s.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.

Col. Nathan Denison was a Revolutionary Officer and a Luzerne County Judge. The Denison House features a table on which the Articles of Capitulation were signed, surrendering Forty Fort to the British and ending the Battle of Wyoming.
