The architecture of the mansion, inside and out, and of walls, benches, and structures on the grounds, includes many features ingeniously implemented in brick.[2]
The building's architecture is Georgian Revival, a subtype of Colonial Revival architecture. The house is featured in "Foundations in Time II: More of Henrico’s Architectural Treasures", a Henrico County TV film available for viewing online.[3] The mansion was saved from deterioration by its purchase by new owners who renovated it and operate a bed-and-breakfast and a wedding business there.[4]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. In 1993, the NRHP listing included 5 contributing buildings, one contributing site, and two contributing structures.[1]
