Taken from the NRHP nomination form, "Dated to c. 1870 with extensive alterations around 1880 to 1894, the Old Parsonage is the most elaborate Victorian brick dwelling standing within the town limits of St. Michaels. Not only was this house built with a distinctive variety of brick decoration, but in addition, the two-story tower is an equally rare architectural feature for town dwellings. The tee-plan house retains period porches as well as a wooden cove cornice that trims the perimeter of the structure. Lately the house has been converted to a bed and breakfast which involved the thorough renovation, and unfortunate removal of some of the important interior features. Nevertheless, the exterior has been well restored and is a pivotal historic structure located in the north end of St. Michaels."
The building is an exceptional "late victorian" example. Specifically, it is classified by the national register as a "Queen Anne" style.
