It was built between 1748 and 1750, and is a one-story Colonial-era brick building with a hipped roof. It measures approximately 52 feet by 41 feet. During a remodeling in 1877, the original arcade was bricked up and incorporated into the main building. Also on the property is a contemporary clerk's office. The buildings were built by planter Landon Carter (1710–1778). ^[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. ^[1]
