The property consists of a log cabin built in 1730, and a larger building with a cornerstone date of 1788. The L-shaped house is built of brick construction with stucco covering. A two-story open porch supported by six columns flanks the front of the house. A two-story connection leads to a kitchen addition.[1] The house was once owned by Dennis P. Gaither and later his son Daniel. In the late 1970s the property was subdivided to 9.9 acres.[2]
