A large building with two distinct sections: a large, 2½-story, 3-bay-wide, 5-bay-deep section set gambrel end to Spring Street at the northwest corner of Ann Street with a low parged foundation, slightly recessed center entrance in the Spring Street elevation, and symmetrically arranged shed dormers above the Ann Street elevation; a slightly lower 2½-story
gambrel-roof section extending north from the larger section with asymmetrically placed openings on the east elevation. Both sections have late 20th-century 1-over-1 windows. By the mid-19th century this was the home of painter and glazier William Austin, and members of the Austin family continued to own it into the early years of the 20th century.
