Site Master 1612-1745 (white oak) ARMDx1 (t = 7.77 PIEDMO; 7.75 MONTP; 7.60 VA2011).

Araby was originally a one-story, five-bay, gambrel-roofed brick structure that was subsequently raised to a two-story building with a pitched roof.

Dendrochronological analysis has shown that one of the timbers used to construct the original building was felled in the spring of 1746.
