The mansion is a three-story, forty-two-room, 18,313-square-foot, brick building that was designed in the Classical Revival style. Other contributing buildings include a smaller residence built for Thompson's son, a pool house, a carriage house/stable, a pumphouse, a schoolhouse/servant's quarters, and garage. The contributing sites and structure are the Springer cemetery (c. 1840), west gate and drive, stone wall, and the remains of a small garage, racetrack, and conservatory/pool.
