The property includes surviving stonework of a mill for grinding sugarcane and of a 20 feet (6.1 m)-tall windmill for drawing water. A capstone on the latter is marked "1810". It includes a one-story 70 by 36 feet (21 m × 11 m) great house with foundation and main floor built of "red ballast and yellow brick". Wood frame interior work appears to date from about 1920.[2]
