The house was designed by William Gibbons Preston in Shingle style and built for businessman Charles E. Pope in 1888.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1] The first floor is built of large fieldstone, with a wood-frame shingled second floor. The roof is gabled, descending to the first floor to shelter a (now enclosed) porch. The roof is pierced by a small eyebrow window. A two-story wing extends to the south of the building.[2]
Preston designed Gardencourt as one of a group of five structures, but the others were never built.[2] However, the historic house is now encompassed by the Gibson Court condominium complex, consisting of several similarly styled buildings constructed in 1987.[3]
