It was built in 1855–1856, and consists of a two-story main block, three bays wide, with flanking one-story wings in the Greek Revival style. It has a center hall plan and was restored in 1928–1929 by Helen Poteat and her husband, author and playwright Laurence Stallings. It features a reconstructed double pedimented portico supported by four plain Roman Doric order columns. Also on the property is a contributing small cabin used by enslaved people. The house was the birthplace of painter Ida Isabella Poteat.
