The following is from the National Historic District Narrative:
These 2 1/2 story structures are white painted with green trim, and have cut-stone basements, wood frame construction, two rear wings, and slate roofs. On the exterior all of these handsome and well-proportioned buildings are practically identical. On the front of each building is a full length two-story veranda with a pedimented portico featuring an attractive palladian window. All other openings are rectangular. A veranda also extends across the rear of each building between the two wings.
These structures are now used as residential dormitories that are rented out for camps. One of them is used as a youth hostel.
