The house is a two-and-a-half-story, wood-frame building built and modified in c.1860, 1877 and 1913. The property also includes a contributing one-story stone building with a cellar, and a non-contributing wood-frame garage.[1]
It was deemed significant as one of Oskaloosa's finer early homes, and for its association with Oskaloosa co-founder Newell, who owned it during 1858–1918. Newell arrived in Kansas in 1856, the worst year of the Bleeding Kansas era, and was harassed by pro-slavers.[1]
