Built in 1873 by Robert L. Zeh, it is a two-story, Italianate-style frame dwelling that is five bays wide and two bays deep, standing on a limestone foundation. It is named for its original owner Hiram Griggs (1836-1909) who is historically significant as the first mayor of the village of Altamont, holding that position for eight consecutive one-year terms.[2][3]
