The house, constructed in 1912, is a vernacular Colonial-Revival one-story residence with a very-high-hip-roof. It has a patterned-tin roof, a gable-roof dormer with decorative window whose diamond-shaped inset is surrounded by small multicolored panes, and a hip-roof porch with tapered posts that are bugalow-era replacements.
