“This house is a large frame structure designed by Sharfenberg and Lesengard typical of the era and coastal region in which it was built. It could be best described as American, Southern, Victorian as it has very large rooms with high ceilings. The interior has been maintained with most of the original furniture. The house was built by the father of the present owner, Archibals R. Campbell Sr.”
