The residence, built around 1886, is a vernacular two-story farm house with a facade-width hip-roof porch, one-story three-bay rear ell with six-over-six sash windows and crude boxed cornice, exterior end brick chimneys laid in irregular bond, enclosed shed porches that form an L on the rear elevation, and an early Victorian mantel with fluted pilasters and a simple bracketed shelf in the south room. The south-facing ell appears to be older than the main block.
