The residece, built circa 1875, is a two-story three-bay house with a single-pile L-plan, sidelights and transom in molded surrounds framing the single-leaf entry, cornice returns, molded capitals on the plain cornerposts, two end chimneys, and a mantel in the main room with molded-diamond frieze panel. One of the chimneys is original with an offset brick stack and stone base treated with coursed roughcast. In the 1940s the one-story ell was enlarged and the front porch changed to two stories.
