Transfer of ownership and modifications
The home was sold to Archibald McEachern, a fellow Scottish American, in 1834 and was expanded on the back side. The main section is a two-story, three-bay, Federal frame dwelling. It is sheathed in weatherboard and has a gable roof. It features a center bay, two-tier front porch. It was enlarged in the 1830s and in the fourth quarter of the 19th century. Also on the property is the contributing McEachern family cemetery.Funds from the sell of the house helped establish Floral College, which later became Flora MacDonald College.
