The ferry dock consists of a steel gate and loading ramp, large enough for one large vehicle to pass. There is a sign identifying the site and a single ferry which crosses to New York along a cable dropped across the historic narrows of Lake Champlain.

The wharf built in 1823 for John S. Larrabee and Samuel H. Holley, it is contemporaneous with numerous stone houses built in the surrounding area around Lake Champlain.

The stone store has now been converted to a dwelling.

The house was built in 1835 for John S Larrabee.
