A second house on the property consists of a Greek Revival style main block attached to a large, early-19th-century, Federal style coastal cottage with engaged porch and rear shed rooms. The front of the main block featured a gable-front porch form supported by four pillars with vernacular Doric order capitals. Also on the property was a contributing brick potato house and a family cemetery.[2] The house has been demolished.
