The residence, built circa 1860-1870, is a two-story three-bay Greek Revival house with an exuberant two-tier 20th century porch, gable roof, two brick end chimneys set in common bond, six-over-six sash windows, and a double-leaf entrance with sidelights and transom containing unusual trapezoidal panes.
