The Spafford Bergen House was built by Spafford Bergen circa 1890 during the time that Ewingville was changing from a farming community to a crossroads village. The house has plaster cast crown moldings, ornamental slate fireplace mantles and an acid etched entry door illustrating Bergen's transition from a farmer to a businessman. In 1889 he and some other businessmen founded the Trenton Bone Fertilizer Company.

The style of the house is considered a Queen Anne cottage and the design probably came from an architectural pattern book of the time. A front porch once wrapped around on 3 sides and there were entrances on both sides as well as in front. All but one of the 7 fireplaces are original.
