The estate features a one-story brick structure with medieval and tidewater architectural elements, including original vaulting in the cellar and refined paneling throughout.

Richard Harrison, a Quaker planter and shipowner, acquired the property in 1665 and constructed the initial wooden two-room dwelling around 1698.

Samuel Harrison's 1733 estate inventory revealed thirteen rooms, including a library containing 195 books, reflecting the educational interests of colonial Maryland settlers.

The property maintains conservation easements through the Maryland Environmental Trust and Maryland Historical Trust, ensuring its long-term preservation.

The interior contains an exceptional marbleized wall panel and eighteenth-century paintings on wood, preserving original colonial craftsmanship.
