The house is decorated with patterned shingles on the roof, delicate tracery, and a crosshatch pattern in the railing on the porch. Marriott C. Morris' father Elliston P. Morris stands in the grass in front of the house. Quaker architect Hibberd Yarnall built the summer home Cedar Mer around 1875. After his death in 1882, Elliston Perot Morris bought the property. Morris left Cedar Mer to his son Marriott Canby Morris in his will. It was sold in 1951 after his death. By 1958 the house had been demolished.
