It is a 3-1/2 story Colonial Revival wood frame structure, with a hipped slate roof and clapboard siding.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1] It served as the parish rectory until 1993, when the building was traded to the city in exchange for land across Beach Street, consolidating the church's land holdings. Today the building houses the Museum of the Revere Society for Cultural and Historic Preservation.[3] Immaculate Conception Church, located at 133 Beach Street, is still an active parish.[4]
