Key features contributing to the heritage value of this site include:

- the residence with its cross-gable massing and large porch,

- the vernacular forms and wood materials (clapboard and shingle) of outbuildings dating from the period of Stewart occupancy (carriage house, cattle barn, horse barn, hen house, granary building, coach house, blacksmith's hope, and boat house),

- evidence of the early spatial relationships between the buildings on the site (with particular emphasis on those buildings occupying their original locations),
