John Marlor, English master builder, built this two-story clapboard, Federal style house, with regional adaptations. Featuring a Palladian double portico, the facade is further enhanced by fanlights with spread eagles at the base and dividers. Mantels have hand-carved sunburst motif and egg-shaped dentils; hand-grained woodwork remains in one parlor.
Brown-Stetson-Sanford House is owned by the Old Capital Historical Society.
