The residence is a one-story three-bay house with two weatherboarded gable-end structures placed parallel to each other and joined by a German-sided connecting passage. Other features of the house include a large stone-and-brick chimney and a shed-roof front porch that is supported with heavy turned posts and sawn brackets.
