Built by Congressman William Everhart (1785-1868) circa 1833, the historic commercial building is a three-story, three-bay, rectangular brick structure that was designed in the Federal style. It measures forty feet long and between twenty and twenty-five feet wide. The front facade features a hipped roof, second-story, wrought iron porch that was added in 1868.
