The house belonged to George Webb, a ship painter and dealer in paints and oils. It is a 2 1/2-story building with a 1 1/2-story eastern wing. A one story porch with turned columns on pedestals extends across the frontage of both wings. This is an excellent example of Italianate architecture that retains many notable features of the style. It has excellent bracketing and an articulated entablature over the main doorway and sidelights.
