It was built about 1855 and is a two-story frame building in an “L” configuration, covered by a low, hipped roof. It has a two-story, rear addition, with a one-story kitchen extension. The house is covered in flush (presumably ship-lapped or tongue-and-groove) siding, which creates a regular, smooth, somewhat monolithic appearance. The house features Italianate and Greek Revival decorative details. On this property, you will find an 1856 stable, the remains of an icehouse, a smokehouse, and an office.<ref name=VAnom>{{cite web|url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Counties/Campbell/015_5147_Caryswood_2009_NR_FINAL.pdf |title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Caryswood |author=W.
