The front faces west, overlooking the White River, and has a two-story porch extending across the center three bays of the five-bay facade. The interior features woodwork and hardware original to the building's c. 1848 construction. The house was built by Augustus Jeffery, the son of Jehoiada Jeffery, the first permanent white settler in north-central Arkansas, and is one of the oldest houses in the region.[2]
