2 1/2 story, three bay, gambrel roof, Colonial Revival house with sweeping Dutch-style roof on south façade covering wide porch with three large French windows. Second floor porch on south projecting from main roof in dormer form. 4/4 balcon fenetee windows. Lunette in attic. Brick foundation. 1 1/2 story gable roof wing on east is actually the older section, built c. 1836. Porch and dormer added later, and windows changed to 4/4. 2 1/2 story addition on NW is modern addition.

[By the early 20th century, the residence was occupied by the Dr. Nathaniel Matson, a prominent physician of Brooklyn, NY, probably as a Summer residence.]

[In 1933 it was recorded as being occupied by Philip A. Hubert and called "Whynot."]

On the NE stands a large barn, converted in early 1900s to a summer residence; it is now separately owned. [The barn-house was named "Barnstead" by the Hubert family and was used as kitchen, an "overflow" bedroom for the Hubert children as the family grew, and as a guest house. Near to "Barnstead" is a small outbuilding that the Huberts called the slave house. The Hubert family garage has, in more modern times, been modified as a guest house. Both barn and garage are currently (2004) under common ownership]

[The Hubert property originally extended from South Country Road through to Beaverdam Rd., and included about 25 acres. It included several other dwellings, including one for his son, Philip A. Hubert, Jr. and a small cottage near Beaver Dam Road for the pianist Carol Robinson, where she lived after she had to vacate the cottage down near Beaverdam Creek (Br09E); this house subsequently was destroyed by fire and a modern house is now on the site. Also on the estate were several barns and outbuildings, some of which have been converted to residences.]

[There is evidence, such as 19th century maps and newspaper notes, that suggest that the original "core" section of the modern house and out buildings were originally the home and farmstead for the Cornelius Corson family, farmers who settled in Brookhaven Hamlet about 1858, perhaps around the time of Cornelius' marriage. More research is required to determine the early 19th century history,]
