The house was built c. 1860 by Francis Holmes. It was then purchased by Jacob B. Tallman in 1870. Built of wood, it features a three-story cubical main section with a two-story wing in the back. A one-story porch with eyelet jigsaw work spans the front and sides. The hip roof has a square cupola.[3]
