The district encompasses 11 contributing buildings and 1 contributing structure in the Lower Camp and Upper Camp relating to the property's historic uses as a farm and later a camp. It was developed in the mid-19th century as the Beede farm and the property includes the Beede farmhouse (c. 1850) and timber frame barn / woodshop (c. 1850). Later farm-related buildings include the Bungalow (pre-1875, 1894).
