Located on the public square behind the courthouse, this house is associated with several illustrious residents of Boone County.

A substantial brick I-house, its facade is pierced by five bays arranged in irregular fashion, suggesting the house was built in stages. The main doorway, with transom, is centered on the facade, and windows include 6/6 sashes. Twin chimneys rise from the end gables.
