The residence is a two-story farm house built circa 1890. It was supposedly created from two log pens to form the core of the asymmetrical L-shaped frame house with its rear ell. The house has two wide end chimneys of stone and brick, turned newels on the straight-flight stair, a center-hall interior, tongue-and-groove board sheathing and wainscoting, mantels with sawn friezes and pilasters, and a plain wraparound porch that replaced the original high-hip one.
