The residence, built circa 1860, is a one-story three-bay hip-roof house with distinctive vernacular Greek Revival features. The house has molded corner-posts that are sawn to resemble temple columns, a symmetrical three-part mitered door and window surrounds, nine-over-six sash windows, a double-pile three bay depth, and gable-end brick chimneys.
