The house is of Bungalow/Craftsman style, 1½ stories high, with Neo-classical detailing.
Eventually, the consolidation of dairy farming caused the farm to stop producing. Of the original 226 acres (0.91 km2), only 4 acres (16,000 m2) remain of the property, with the rest consumed by Louisville sprawl.[4]
Dean Corbett, chef of the Equus restaurant in St. Matthews, Kentucky, planned to restore the building into a new upscale restaurant called "Corbett's: An American Place".[3] On December 13, 2007, it had a "soft opening"[5] with a hard opening on December 15, 2007.[6]
