It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame clapboarded structure with a gable roof. It is predominantly Greek Revival in style, with pilastered corner boards, with entablatures and friezes above. It was built as a general store in the late 1850s by John Morrill, and served for many years as the local post office. It was purchased by the local Grange organization in 1909, at which time a series of interior alterations was made to facilitate its use by that group.
