A fine example of a "Quincy Cottage", it is a 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure with clapboard siding and a side-gable roof. It has a projecting gabled entrance vestibule, and twin shed-roof wall dormers, both of which are detailed with decorative wooden shingles. The front roof eave has Italianate brackets. This house was built by Barnabas Clark, a major investor in the granite quarries, to house workers.^[2]
