One story in height, with seven bays, this building is notable for the quality of its colonial brickwork. The structure resembles a church that stood in Fairfax County (Payne's Church [1766–1768], demolished by Union troops) whose design is documented to Ariss. The fine, molded brick door pediments, rubbed brick dressings, and elegant round-headed windows recall similar details on buildings in the Williamsburg area. Ariss has been suggested as the undertaker, or mason, if not the designer. The interior was gutted during the Civil War and has been restored.
