Home is part of the Walking tour of Historic Woodstown, NJ. The best description comes from the Walking Tour, available here:

"The William Shinn House shows a simple center hall structure common to the period. Note the elliptically arched dormer windows on the 3rd floor that are indicative of the early 19th century late federal and early Classical Revival periods. These windows often had fluted pilasters on each side with 'bullseye' or similar corner plinths. The clapboard siding has a random width 'reveal' common in early house construction."

This house was deeded to William Shinn by his father, Gen. Isaiah Shinn (Revolutionary war) who lived next door. It originally consisted of only four rooms, two on the first floor and two on the second.
