Fireplace in the east room has a large single over-mantel panel and the west fireplace has two panels.

Alterations in the house changed the traditional five-room first floor plan by eliminating the keeping rooms and the removal of the kitchen fireplace.〔 Despite this, the house's original door frames and much of the doors with wrought-iron latch hardware remained by the time of its nomination in 1985.〔 In 1935, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) rehabilitated the property for park use. The house was acquired by the State of Connecticut in 1938. 〔 The CCC shingled the exterior of the house, but it is uncertain if the "inappropriate porch" was an addition they made.〔 The CCC is also believed to be the builders of the garage/workshop.〔
