The listing is for two buildings on a high bluff:
- the superintendent's house (1912–13), a 30 by 35 feet (9.1 m × 10.7 m) two-story Flemish bond brick house with a wraparound porch, and
- a one-and-a-half-story office Flemish bond brick building (c.1889[2])
They are located on Federal Hill, overlooking Lock and Dam #4 of the Green River, within an 8.5 acres (3.4 ha) Butler County park.[3]
At the time of the 1980 NRHP nomination, the buildings had been vacant since 1973, when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers moved its last employee out of Woodbury.[3]
