A small one-and-a-half-story, three-bay center chimney house; modern siding has obscured whatever detailing exists except for the sidelights of the center door. The house is set on the canal towpath, its back facing the Blackstone River, and is reached by a small footbridge with iron railings. The house was built for Wilbur Kelly, who had been a shipmaster for the Brown family of Providence before he acquired and operated the Smithfield Cotton and Woolen Company's mill.
