It is a one-story four-bay brick house which was assessed to have "one of the best examples in the county of Federal domestic architecture; the interior is especially significant."[2]
It was built by David Edwards, from Columbia, at age 15; David died at Battle of Shiloh in 1862 at age 32. It was later owned by George L. Edwards, a murderer and a famous outlaw of Green County.[2]
A second contributing building on the property is an "unusual" stepped chimney log smokehouse with half-dovetailing.[2]
