The residence, built around circa 1900, is a triple-A farm house with atypical period features. To the two-story three-bay single-pile main block part of the house with a hip-roof front porch is appended a one-and-a-half-story ell with enclosed hip-roof porch on one side and a recent shed-roof addition on the other. The house features vernacular Victorian details such as an interior hallway plan, simple sawn mantels, open-string stair, sawtooth shingling in the central gable, louvered shutters, and turned porch supports with simple sawn brackets. What makes this residence unusual is the fretwork porch balustrade, fully pedimented main gables, and the central gable in the ell that complements the triple-A lines of the main facade.
