Between 1914 and 1918, Colonial Revival architectJoseph Everett Chandler remodeled two farmhouses from the late Federal period of American architecture to form the house that stands on the property. Chandler also enhanced the design of the landscape, which eventually included a perennial garden, a kitchen, flower garden, and a rose garden (all in the Colonial Revival style).[3] A potager garden (kitchen garden in the French style), with a brick serpentine wall and a complex of greenhouses were also built. The collections inside the house include Asian artifacts such as Chinese porcelain, as well as American furniture, and European decorative arts.
In 2020, a project began to restore the murals inside the house.[4]
