It was built in 1847 by Gilman Coggin, owner of a local shoe-manufacturing business. The house's front gable is fully pedimented, supported by wide corner pilasters. A single-story wraparound porch has square Ionic columns, and the front door surround is flanked by half-length sidelight windows and topped by a fanlight transom.[2]
