The house stands near Cameron, in Calhoun County, on land granted to John Jacob Ulmer in 1757; it is a private clapboard frame dwelling on a low brick foundation, not a museum, so visitors see it from the road. The 1960 remodeling left the in antis front porch and medium-gable roof as the features to look for.

The house was originally built in dogtrot style, a practical design with an open breezeway that was distinctive to early southern settlements. This building method allowed natural ventilation and was typical of homes from this period and region.
