The residence is a two-story triple-A house with an unusual U-shaped configuration, three-bay single-pile main block, two interior chimneys, an L-plan ell with diminutive gable wing and two exterior chimneys, corbeled brick chimney caps, decorative shingle bands, diamond-shaped ventilators in the five main gables, long two-over-two sash windows, a wraparound porch with simple Doric columns and a frieze band of narrow beaded boards, wide eaves with ornamental brackets and plan frieze, and louvered shutters on the second floor.
