It was built about 1801–1804, and is a modest 2-story sandstone residence. The house is nearly square and has an unusually large interior chimney. A Victorian-style frame addition was built about 1895 at the rear of the house. It is recognized as the county's oldest house. Also located on the property is the family burial ground where Wells' grave marker stands.[2]
