The three-story mansion spans 83 feet deep, with flushboard front facade, clapboard sides, and Corinthian columns supporting the entrance portico.
Built in 1807 by Captain William Nickels, the mansion reflects the success of maritime trade until financial ruin from the Embargo of 1807.
The interior preserves Federal design elements, including window seats, recessed shutters, and a semi-oval front hall with spiral staircase.
