The residence, built around 1909, is a boxy two-story three-bay double-pile house with a vernacular Colonial Revival style. The house's features include a high-hip roof; complementary porch carried by four Tuscan columns; gable-roof kitchen ell; central-hallway structure; one-over-one sash windows; restrained Colonial Revival mantels; six-panel doors; two interior brick corbeled-cap chimneys; and a straight-flight stair that has a recessed-panel string, turned balustrade, and embellished square-in-section newel.
