Built circa 1793, this historic structure is a one-and-one-half-story, rectangular, stucco-coated, sandstone building that has a medium gable roof with a shed dormer on the rear elevation. It was once owned by Matthias Schaumboch, who is alleged to have murdered at least eleven traveling salesman and hucksters. This property was acquired as part of the Hawk Mountain Sanctuary in 1938, and is used to house sanctuary personnel.[2][3]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
