The house was built about 1787, and modified between about 1796 and 1812, and again about 1830. It is a two-story, five-bay, Late Georgian style heavy timber frame dwelling. It has a steep hipped slate roof with dormers and two interior chimneys. The Asa Fitch, Jr. Laboratory, or “Bug House,” was built about 1825 and enlarged about 1860. It is a small two-story, gable roofed frame rectangular building with a lean-to addition. Also on the property are the contributing barn (c. 1825 and later) and milk house (c. 1900). It was the home and laboratory of Asa Fitch (1809-1879), first occupational entomologist in the U.S.[2]: 3–4, 6
