This structure is a fine example of Early American pre-Victorian architecture. It is a colonial-style home with a rear addition added in the early 20th century. It is located at 21 South Main Street in downtown Medford Village. The building was built by Caleb and Benjamin Shreeve in 1835 on ground formally owned by Samuel Jones and his descendants. The building was constructed in three sections. All three sections were completed in 1860.
