The Gibson House is recognized for being an example of Neo-Classical architecture and for having been the home of businessman George W. Gibson.

Erected in 1884 as a home for James Townsend Wright, the Gibson House is a good example of the Neo-Classical style popular in the 1880s. The building consists of a main massing, an ell, and a stable, the last of which has since been repurposed as a garage. It retains many of its original features, including it beige cladding and stable doors and windows, and overall has a subtle yet pretty appearance.

Sometime after its construction, the house was purchased by George W. Gibson (1877–1946), proprietor of the Hayden-Gibson Theatre on Main Street. Following the theatre's destruction in a fire in 1920, the first 'modern' office building in Woodstock was built on the same site. Gibson acquired the ground floor of this building, where he operated a merchant tailoring business. Gibson had a prolific life in the community as well, being on the board of trustees for the LP Fisher Hospital and acting as one of the 15 founding members of the Woodstock Rotary Club.
