The 1+12-story Federal period Cape style house, built in 1795 by Noah Curtis, is the oldest Cape-style house in South Quincy. Noah Curtis was an early local pioneer in manufacturing boots and shoes, which became one of Quincy's major industries. [2]

The house is five bays wide, with a center entrance and a centrally-placed chimney. A later portico shelters the entry, adding the right side and rear. [3]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 20, 1989. [1]
