The passageways between the central portion and the wings are called "hyphens." Atop the right hyphen is a "widow's walk" that leads to the upper floor of the right wing.

The five-part plan of this house, now owned by Chesterfield Historical Society of Virginia, is said to be unique among Virginia buildings.
