Simon. It is a one story, five bay, steel frame structure on a raised, poured concrete foundation with a molded brick watercourse. It is square in shape, with a slate covered hipped roof in the Colonial Revival style. The interior features a 1941 mural by Mordi Gassner titled “Family Reunion on Clark Island: Spring 1791.” It is located within the Oxford Village Historic District.”
