The house is located at 110 South 100 West and was built in 1880.[Note 1] It was built for John Ashworth, who was born in England and who was the first manager-superintendent of the Beaver Woolen Mills, and who also served as Beaver's second mayor, during 1880–82. It is a hall and parlor plan house with a shed extension to the rear, built in 1880.[2]
The structure was listed on the NRHP November 29, 1983.[1]
^The original exterior of the house was brick.[2] However, sometime between 1981 and August 2008 the exterior was covered with vinyl siding[3] substantially changing its appearance. Another alteration during that same time period was the removal of the exterior doorway on the north side.[2][3]
