The architecturally eclectic brick building was built in 1891 by the heirs of Samuel P. Langmaid, a local landowner. The Langmaid family was also responsible for the Langmaid Building on Highland Avenue. The architect was J. Pickering Putnam of Boston. The building is Queen Anne in inspiration with multiple roof lines, gables, and towers of varying heights and styles. Dormers project from the mansard roof, faced with stepped brick.
