The Hollis House is composed of three wood frame houses attached together. The main structure is a two-story house featuring a one-story entrance portico with pediment supported by slender posts. Adjoining it is a one-story structure with attic and dormers. On the other side of the house with dormers is a smaller one-story structure without an attic. The houses were built circa 1786, 1812, and 1820 and assembled into one structure by Edward Vason Jones. The main part of the house is the Cooper house (1820) moved to the site from Powelton, and the Brookins-Mullally house (1812) was moved from east of Sparta to join the complex.
