The house rests on a brick basement and is enclosed by a gable roof.

During the late 19th-early 20th centuries this house was owned by the family of Phillip H. Wing, lumber dealer. Although the house not indicated on the 1879 map, directories indicate that a Stephen Wing, farmer lived here in 1874/75.
