Home is part of the Walking tour of Historic Woodstown, NJ. It was added to the NRHP in 2001. The best description comes from the Walking Tour, available here:
"Built for James and Mary Lawson in 1869, this house was copied from an architectural pattern book by James Riddell published in 1861. It was done in the Italianate style, popular in the mid 19th century. the roof top belvedere, often missing from this style of houses today, completes the classic form. The large corner brackets under the eaves add to the massive appearance of the house. Listed on the National Register of Historical Places, it is one of the finest surviving examples of the Italianate style."
