Located on a neck of land that is watered on the north by a short wide creek known as the Gulf, Elkington is a two-story frame house located on flat farmland about a mile and a half west of the county seat of Eastville. It features a dogleg arrangement of the staircase in the rear north side of the entrance passage with an uneven arched underside of the second flight dividing the passage into two distinct spaces. The house is almost identical to Eyre Hall in terms of its plan. (Carl Lounsbury 2019, pers. comm., 11 December ).
