The large saltbox house now located at 360 King Caesar Road in Duxbury, Massachusetts, was moved there from Kingston, Massachusetts. The building was constructed in three phases. The primary structure was composed of the chimneystack and the southeast rooms, the southwest rooms were added in the secondary phase, and finally the northern lean-to was added to the house.

Dendrochronological analysis has provided a felled-after date of 1722 for a timber from the primary phase, while another timber from the secondary phase provided a felling date of the spring of 1766.
