The residence, built around 1890, is a one-story three-bay house with a long, low facade, shed-roof porch with simple balustrade, six-over-six sash windows, shed additions on both side elevations, two handmade brick chimneys laid in common bond at the ends of the house, single-leaf entrance with sidelights, a large vernacular post-and-lintel mantel, and a younger brick chimney located at the gable end of the ell.
