The building is part of the Mt. Airy Estate and is built of sandstone and mortar. It was finished the same as the mansion.

This office was used by the owners of Mt. Airy as an office, and all slaves were auctioned off here. It is now (1937) used as extra sleeping quarters when there are more guests than can be accommodated at the mansion.
