The home was built by prominent local architect Guy Kirkham, who had worked in the offices of Cass Gilbert, and who later designed such area landmarks as the High School of Commerce, and Mass Mutual's Home Office.

This 'Modern English'-style home was built for the locally prominent Stebbins family, modeled after the architect's own home recently built nearby. It features large rooms trimmed with oak, including a handsome library, multiple fireplaces, and a light and cozy eat-in kitchen. The grounds feature the original gazebo and have been improved with an in-ground pool accessible from the walk-out basement.

Property is in very original condition, even including the slate sink in the kitchen, and cabinetry in the butler's pantry.
