Designed by architect George Franklin Barber, this historic structure was built in 1893. It is a large, three-story, nineteen-room, clapboarded, Victorian dwelling that was created in the Queen Anne style. It measures approximately fifty feet wide, seventy-five feet deep, and fifty feet tall, and features a huge, tin-roofed wraparound porch and a turret. Also located on the property is a contributing carriage house.
The house was built by Israel Platt Pardee (1852 - 1934), son of Ario Pardee (1810 - 1892) founder of Hazleton.
