The residence, built circa 1884, is a simple two-story four-bay farm house with two end chimneys of rubblestone and brick, six-over-six sash windows, and rear ell. In the 20th century, several additions were made to the house including a plain shed-roof front porch, remodeling of the ell, and interior alterations.
