It was built in the late 1860s by James Morrow, an Irish immigrant who owned a store in Wilmington. The building is locally significant for its unusual architecture, which features both a gambrel roof and a raised basement.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1] The house has one and a half stories on top of a partially above-ground basement. The facade is symmetrical, with two bays on either side of a flat-roofed porch. The exterior walls are stuccoed with green trim and large sash windows. The house has an asphalt-shingled gambrel roof with bracketed cornices and three gable dormer windows on each side.[2] The house is built from stone and weighs just under 500 tons.[3] The Morrow House originally stood along with a number of outbuildings on a 24-acre parcel of farmland.[2] In 2008, after being empty for a number of years, the house was cut off at the foundation and moved some {{convert|300|ft|m}} to the west in order to clear the site for new development.[4][5] The owners of the building planned to renovate it and convert it into office space; however as of 2012 the house remains vacant.
