Built in 1808, was used as a dormitory for the Linden Grove Seminary. A two and half story Federal structure with a center entrance, which has a elliptical fanlight over the doorway. About 1800 the front porch was added, of unusual type for this vicinity; it is of ample depth and width, with a pedimented roof and a plastered ceiling. The door is framed with rusticated wood blocks to resemble stone, in contrast with the clapboard siding of the exterior.
