The Greek Revival building was constructed between 1836 and 1838 by Stephen Salisbury II, son of Worcester merchant Stephen Salisbury I whose 18th century mansion stands nearby. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[2] The two-story wood-frame structure is finished in flushboarded wood treated to resemble stone. Design of the building is attributed either to Elias Carter or Isaiah Rogers (sources disagree).[3]
