The residence, built circa 1903, was constructed around an older one-and-a-half-story dwelling. The house is currently a five-bay single-pile structure with a hip-roof porch with turned posts, balustrade, and sawn brackets; a brick common-bond end chimney; narrow-board sheathing; and Victorian mantels. The photograph shows the log portion of the house.
